VCSE Travel and Tourism
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
VCSE Travel and Tourism is heavy on literacy: learners read and compare sources, write a destination fact file, a trip proposal, an itinerary and marketing materials using persuasive language tailored to an audience, present their trip and answer questions, and write a reflection on their own performance. Numeracy is lighter but real, with the Unit 1 sector test asking learners to extract information, spot trends and make calculations from Welsh tourism data, and Unit 3 needing a trip budget, costings, a schedule and a feedback survey whose responses are collated. The single biggest thing KS3 should build is persuasive, well-structured writing for a named audience, backed by accurate facts and simple costings.

Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Mesur
-
Reading and presenting climate data
In Unit 2 learners must understand climate information for destinations, including climate graphs and weather patterns, and present accurate climate data in their destination fact file.
Rhifedd: Dehongli data, Cynrychioli data, Mesur
Paratoi disgyblion
- Blwyddyn 7
- Pupils read a climate graph for Aberystwyth and find the warmest month, the wettest month and the temperature range across the year.
- Blwyddyn 8
- Pupils draw a climate graph for a Mediterranean resort with rainfall bars and a temperature line on suitable scales, then compare it with a Welsh resort.
- Blwyddyn 9
- Pupils choose the best month to visit two destinations for different tourist groups using climate graphs, converting any Fahrenheit figures to Celsius, and justify their choice with the data.

Scheduling dates, times and durations
Learners set the duration and dates of their trip, sequence activities in a logical order and produce an itinerary with a schedule. This needs accurate times, durations and use of transport timetables.
Rhifedd: Mesur, Cymhwysedd strategol
Paratoi disgyblion
- Blwyddyn 7
- Pupils use a bus timetable to plan a morning trip to a nearby town, working out departure and arrival times and how long they will have there.
- Blwyddyn 8
- Pupils build a one-day itinerary for a visit to Swansea with 24-hour times, journey lengths and activity durations that add up to the school day.
- Blwyddyn 9
- Pupils plan a two-day trip including a train connection, work out total travel time and waiting time, and adjust the schedule if a train is delayed by 40 minutes.

Da gwybod
- Written NEA evidence can be handwritten: Unit 2 'must be submitted digitally, either as scanned handwritten responses or completed digitally.' (page 32).
- Spoken work is assessed through observation: 'performance evidence (for example, presentations) must be documented using observation records' (page 34).
- Learners get a research window before Unit 2: 'A further two hours should be scheduled for research prior to the completion of tasks.' (page 32).
- Teachers may not coach the writing during NEA: 'Teachers may clarify task requirements but must not provide feedback on the evidence being produced.' (page 34).
- Appendix A maps Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing to all or almost all sections of every unit, but maps no section to geometry and measurement (pages 39 and 40).
- The specification does not say whether a calculator may be used in the Unit 1 sector test, which includes 'make calculations using a range of data' (Unit 1, Section 1.3.3, page 19).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
Climate graphs, places and tourism impacts overlap with GCSE Geography, persuasive marketing and budgeting overlap with GCSE Business, and the trip budget and timetable work draws on Mathematics, so KS3 departments could share one model of a costed, persuasive trip plan.
