Design & Technology
"You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have." - Maya Angelou
In the Design and Technology department students learn through doing. Theoretical knowledge is learnt through practical activities and experimentation. Students are encouraged to be innovative and imaginative, to be independent and resilient. It is a department of enthusiastic teachers with expertise in each of its GCSE subject areas, supported by a full time technician. Lessons are taught in well-equipped, specialist classrooms and workshops. Projects provide interest, challenge and are relevant to modern life.
KS3 lessons build skills to prepare students for their GCSEs and equip them for later life, through an appreciation of design. The students have the opportunity to complete practical tasks in each module and are encouraged to take these items home.
In KS4 students have the choice of three different specialist GCSE courses.
