Shireland Collegiate Academy students joined peers from West Bromwich Collegiate Academy on a joint Travel and Tourism coursework trip to Cardiff, where they experienced some of the city’s most notable attractions.
Highlights of the visit included exploring the historic Cardiff Castle, discovering Wales’ culture and heritage at the National Museum of Wales, and the regenerated waterfront at Cardiff Bay. The trip gave students the chance to see tourism in action and understand how key attractions attract and engage visitors.
Academy Principal, Thomas Daly, commented: “Visiting Cardiff allowed our students to take their learning outside the classroom, encouraging them to immerse themselves in new places with curiosity and confidence.
“Experiences like this help them develop independence, enthusiasm for exploration, and a deeper appreciation of the wider world around them, skills that will benefits their studies and futures.”
The trip provided students with a practical perspective on how attractions operate successfully to create memorable experiences for visitors while supporting local economy, cultural and environmental conservation.
Shireland Collegiate Academy continues to prioritise experiences that enrich students’ education and looks forward to offering similar opportunities in the future.
