Alton Towers Trip

At the end of the summer term more then 50 year 10 students from the GCSE Business Studies course visited Alton Towers. After a thrilling day experiencing the rides on offer, one of the park attendants gave a talk on the Marketing activities that Alton Towers carries out. This included looking at some of their failed TV adverts, and was very interesting. Students will be using this knowledge that they picked up to complete their coursework at the start of year 11.

Some comments from students that attended:

• It was all good, especially Rita. (Richard Godby)
• It was a great experience and the rides were exciting and adrenalin pumping, especially Rita. (Ryan Parry)
• It was a fun day considering it was an educational trip, and it was interesting to hear about the different ways in which Alton Towers advertises. (Katie Cunningham & Georgia Clayton)
