Courses
KS3
Students study Graphics, Textiles and Resistant Materials. We cover basic skills and develop them further so that students learn to become more independent from their teachers.
KS4
The Design Technology offer at GCSE is DT:Graphics and DT:Resistant Materials. These are new courses with no traditional coursework, which has been replaced with two timed Controlled Assessments, and two exams for the full course.
Students who wish to complete a short course could do this by studying one of the offers after school; the short course is one Controlled Assessment and one exam.
