Our aim is to Instill a love of creativity through bringing ideas to life through designing and making, identifying and developing a range of design solutions to existing and new problems.
Design and Technology is a vibrant, diverse and exciting subject, which investigates the ideas of form, function and how products are designed to enhance the world we live in. It is a popular subject, which allows the girls to explore their creative side and fulfil needs of the consumer in an innovative way.
The students use a variety of skills, helping them to communicate ideas, solve problems, develop practical skills and reflect on their ideologies about design, offering something to suit everybody. There are many cross-curricular links, including; Art, Maths, Science, English and Physical Education.
There are several trips for students to attend as well as having an opportunity to take part in the regional SATRO competition, which tests collaboration and problem solving.
There are resources available to view and download on Google Classroom.
