Design Technology
including FOOD STUDIES AND HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE
Design and Technology is about providing our students with opportunities to develop their ability to design and make quality products. Pupils are encouraged to learn through a wide variety of experiences. The curriculum provides exciting opportunities for pupils to complete a wide range of practical projects skilfully and safely in the workshop and specialist Food areas. Pupils thoroughly enjoy and benefit from the opportunities that the subject provides. The department has excellent facilities that have been recently updated and benefits from highly skilled specialist staff. There is also the opportunity for pupils to extend their learning by attending lunch time and after school clubs.
The department have a long history of supporting primary school transition activities. A range of activities are organised with feeder primary schools. Pupils may have the chance to experience tasks in Food, Graphics, or Resistant Materials. Pupils often make items to take home with them such as key rings and a vast array of food items.

Key Stage 3
During Key Stage 3 we offer the opportunity to make many products in Food, Graphics, wood, plastic and metal (Product Design). The students rotate through the areas experiencing a variety of materials. Pupils will carry out practical and theory work and they will be assessed in their ability to research, develop, analyse and communicate their ideas, planning, making and evaluation. At the end of each term, pupils will be awarded a national curriculum level.

At Key Stage 4 students can follow a GCSE course of study in one of the Design and Technology subjects leading to a full GCSE qualification. The department also offers the opportunity to study GCSE Health and Social Care. We have had many years of successful results at Key Stage 4 and students often choose to continue their studies of Design and Technology into Key Stage 5.
