At Key Stage 3, Design Technology, as a subject sits within the Our Natural Environment (Food Technology, Design Technology, Horticulture and Nature) curriculum. We are passionate about cross curricular links within the faculty as such Year 7 students producing a window planter in Design Technology which is taken to Horticulture to be filled with seasonal plants. We have taken a fresh look at assessment in this curriculum offering as well, and students are expected to present their project-based learning. This has ranged from PowerPoints to VLOGs. The feedback from students and parents has been resoundingly positive and we are keen to see how this initiative can be developed further.

At Key Stage 4 and 5, our small class sizes allows for students to maximise their potential with targeted staff intervention. You will really get to know the students and this creates a learning environment based on mutual respect.
