At River Tees Hospital School, our Hospitality and Catering curriculum is designed to provide pupils with essential skills and knowledge in the food service industry, fostering both practical abilities and an understanding of nutrition and health. Recognising the unique context of our hospital school, we aim to create a supportive learning environment where pupils can explore the diverse aspects of hospitality and catering, even while managing their health challenges.
Our curriculum emphasises meal planning and provision, ensuring that pupils learn how to create nutritious and balanced menus that adhere to government guidelines and dietary requirements. Through hands-on experiences, pupils will gain practical skills in food preparation, safety, and hygiene, preparing them for future roles in the catering industry.
We also focus on the importance of teamwork and effective communication within a catering setting. Pupils will develop their ability to work collaboratively, manage tasks efficiently, and understand the significance of high-quality service. Additionally, we address special dietary needs, teaching pupils how to cater to various requirements while ensuring clear communication regarding allergens and nutrition.
