Introduction Design and Technology is an exciting and innovative subject which develops ‘skills for life’ in the students through the study and use and combination of many traditional and modern technology techniques.
Homework Homework’s in year 7 and 8 are set once per fortnight. In year 9, 10 and 11 students will be set appropriate homework by their individual Design and Technology teachers on a weekly basis.
Gifted and Talented Students Students in both Key Stages are taught in mixed ability groups, special attention and challenge is given to all students. Extension tasks are incorporated into all Design and Technology modules of work, and the independent learning systems we have in place offer students the chance to work at their own pace and push on to more challenging work when appropriate.
