During year 11 students study their option choice for 5 hours per fortnight and at A level study the Design and Technology curriculum for 10 hours per fortnight. A TLR is available for KS5 responsibilities for the right candidate.
The department’s facilities include 2 workshops, a CAD suite, a sixth form work space a theory classroom, a staff break and workspace and a well organised and well stocked cutting room. The department vision is strongly supported by leadership and our team of teachers and a supportive technician work hard to deliver a curriculum which encourages students to be innovative, independent and creative. The department is also very supportive of CPD.
