Design & Technology with Graphics
As students progress to KS4 they choose an area within Design & Technology to study. In the chosen area, the subject allows for deeper study of the world they live in, potential career opportunities and with the skills developed at KS3 the confidence to task risks, become resourceful, innovative, enterprising, and capable citizens. The subjects encourage students to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems, within a variety of contexts, while considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. The curriculum is designed to give all students the opportunity to learn the skills and knowledge to engage positively with materials, components, products and technologies in the world around them. Through these types of activities students are actively contributing to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of themselves and their community.
Our experienced and passionate Design and Technology staff provide a safe environment in which students can be innovative, take risks, become more resourceful, be enterprising and develop as capable learners being able to learn a range of new skills and to learn if they fail, turning failure into success.
We aim to strive to provide our students to have the strength of character to know that they can learn from their mistakes and create a better product in the future through practising and developing the skills and knowledge that they are experiencing across the material areas. Design and Technology education makes a unique and valuable contribution to the education and preparation for students’ future lives for work and or leisure. We aim to ensure that our students achieve the best possible experiences in Design and Technology, to become lifelong learners sharing the same joy of the subject that their teachers have.
