Hospitality and Catering, in particular, stands out as a dynamic, vibrant, and innovative sector, both nationally and within our local community. It delivers vital jobs, growth, and investment, playing a significant cultural, social, and economic role. As the third largest private sector employer in the UK — larger than the financial services, automotive, pharmaceutical, and aerospace industries combined — hospitality contributes £130 billion to the UK economy and supports 2.9 million jobs. This thriving industry offers a wide range of career opportunities, from chefs, hotel and bar managers, and catering assistants, to food technologists working for leading supermarket chains. By offering Hospitality and Catering at Skegness Academy we will equip students with essential technical skills but also inspire ambition, independence, and creativity. Whether progressing through apprenticeships, further education, or directly into the workforce, our students are prepared to meet the demands of a fast-paced, exciting sector, with confidence and pride.
