Travel and Tourism at Beckfoot Oakbank
We ensure all students succeed in Travel and Tourism through creating lessons that provide essential specialist knowledge of the wide variety of businesses in the travel and tourism sector.
Students will be able to acquire sector-specific applied knowledge through vocational contexts by studying the aims,
products and services of different travel and tourism organisations, their use of consumer technologies, the features of tourist destinations, how organisations meet customer needs and preferences, and the influences on global travel and tourism as part of their learning.
We believe that travel and tourism is a remarkable subject to develop transferable skills, practice and expand interpersonal skills, learn to critically analyse information, and accurately apply their knowledge gain to plan holidays for specific visitor types.

- National Science Week competitions

- STEM Year 7 Science Club
- Gardening club
- Access to the library
