Design

Head of Department: E R Lawson

Design is something that we come into contact with every day of our lives.

For many pupils it proves to be a fascinating subject. Designing and making activities are central to the delivery of Design and Technology.

Through a series of design and make activities the pupils are introduced to a range of technologies, including materials, construction techniques, electronics, computer control, mechanical systems and structural design.

Pupils are expected to work co-operatively on group projects as well as individually. Projects are carefully inter-linked in order to ensure the progression of knowledge, skills and ideas.

The work covered in Lower School forms the basis of, and contributes to, the full GCSE course in Technology.
