Design & Technology

Curriculum Intent - DT:

The Design and Technology faculty are committed to delivering a curriculum accessible to all which provides the broadest possible range of opportunities for students. One which will allow students to become self-motivated and confident learners, who can work independently and as part of a team. We aim to ensure that students develop technical and practical competencies as well as the wider skills recognised by colleges, universities and employers.

Our main priority is for students to be problem solvers who are not afraid of making mistakes as they progress through their creative journey.
