Design & Technology
Design & Technology
Design and Technology enables students to understand and apply design processes through which they explore, create and evaluate a range of outcomes. Students use creativity and imagination to design and make prototypes (together with evidence of modelling to develop and prove product concept and function) that solve real and relevant problems, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values.
In Key Stage 4 students will acquire subject knowledge in design and technology that builds on Key Stage 3, incorporating knowledge and understanding of different materials and manufacturing processes in order to design and make, with confidence, prototypes in response to issues, needs, problems and opportunities.
