Longueville Manor continues St. Saviour’s school initative

The comprehensive initiative launched in 2006, invites year two students of St Saviour’s PrimarySchool to visit the luxury hotel once a term to learn about the different elements of hospitality including; lessons in the kitchen with Executive Head Chef Andrew Baird, a tour around the 19thcentury Victorian Kitchen Garden with kitchen gardener and forager David Lewis, who will educate pupils on the fresh produce that is grown and used in many dishes in the Longueville Manor Restaurant, an insight into how the restaurant team work and much more.

Lessons are based on the pupils’ curriculum and highlights the need in educating the future generation about the vast career opportunities in the hospitality sector, as well as contributing to life-long learning skills and hands-on ways of learning outside of the classroom whilst developing their social and academic skills in an enjoyable way.

At the end of the school year and during the final visit from this year’s year two pupils,Longueville Manor will invite the student’s parents to the hotel, giving the children a chance to communicate what they have learnt and enjoy some of the snacks they made during their visit.

Commenting on the longstanding relationship with St Saviours School, owner Malcolm Lewis says,

“We at Longueville are very passionate about this worthwhile initiative. It’s a great reminder thatwe have the opportunity to shape what could be the future in Jersey’s hospitality industry, and it is crucial that we nurture the time we have with the students ensuring that every trip is botheducational and enjoyable.”
