Design Technology

Design & Technology allows students to understand how different products and technologies impact on our every day lives. Students experience what materials are used and how sustainability of our resources is so important for the environment.

We look at how manufacturing techniques are constantly improving and the implications of this on social and environmental issues.

Through Design & Technology students become independent thinkers, problem solvers, designers, work in teams and experience manufacturing processes including CAD/CAM.

The projects delivered in KS3 and KS4 allow the students to become creative thinkers, able to communicate through drawing, annotations and verbal skills. Manufacturing has to be planned and health & safety is a major part of this.

All work is evaluated by peers and any target market they have worked to. All the skills and processes learnt give the student an excellent grounding to move on and be successful at GCSE Resistant Materials, Graphic Products or Textiles.
