Leisure and Tourism is taught in years 10 and 11. The
subject can be studied as a single or double award GCSE. All
students study leisure and tourism provision in the local area as
well as investigating tourism destinations in other areas of the
United Kingdom, Europe and other areas of the world.
Students following the double award course also study leisure and
tourism organisations and businesses as well as investigating the
dynamic nature of the leisure and tourism industries.
The department is very experienced, consistently obtains extremely
good results and is highly regarded throughout Wales for its
delivery of the subject. The department is heavily involved in the
development of a range of resources to support leisure and tourism
teaching throughout the country, working with the WAG, the WJEC and
the National Museum of Wales, as well as other organisations.
Additionally, the department offers the opportunity for students to
take part in overseas study visits to enhance their understanding of
tourism destinations. Paris, Barcelona, Iceland, Toronto, Montreal,
New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon have all been
visited in recent years. |
