Our Design and Technology curriculum gives students a broad introduction to the various disciplines that both support progression onto Key Stage 4 but fundamentally equip our young people with skills and practical knowledge that will serve them into adulthood.

Through years 7,8 and 9, students will be taught to identify and problem solve using a variety of strategies, tools and equipment, all of which are relevant to 21^st century technologies and approaches. When investigating design ideas, students will learn a range of literacy and planning skills. Whilst in the design and making stages, numeracy and the acquisition of practical skills (including CAD/CAM) will form a large proportion of the work. Through analysing a range of design influences and considering the environmental impact of making products, students will acquire an understanding and appreciation of the importance of design within society.

We deliver projects in Product Design, Graphic Design, Textiles and Food, through which students will make products and dishes that are relevant to them and the modern world, which students can also take home and actually use.
