Design & Technology - KS3
In Design Technology, we are providing students with an opportunity to investigate and develop their relationships with many aspects of technology.
This will result in an awareness and understanding of the technology that forms part of their everyday and future lives. We strive to ensure all students leave with skills in problem solving and fundamental practical skills that are relevant to their futures.
Throughout Key Stage 3, our students study 6 areas of Design Technology – Resistant materials, product design, graphics, food and nutrition, textiles and architectural skills. We aim to ensure all learners are equipped with basic practical skills in a wide range of areas, such as threading sewing machines, preparing and making a healthy balanced meal and accurately measuring and cutting timbers to create strong wood joints. Through a broad and varied curriculum, our KS3 students will have expanded their practical skill set whilst developing their resilience, confidence and holding an awareness of health and safety.
