Design and Technology Department

As we come to the end of the first full term of the school year, we would like to reflect on some of the exciting work that has been taking place in the Design and Technology department. 

Textiles club has got off to a really great start with large numbers of Year 8 students regularly attending on a Thursday lunchtime. So far, we have been creating stuffed toys using felt and lots of hand-stitching techniques; some of which they have remembered from Textiles in Year 7. Next half term, the students are going to be teaching each other crochet.  Some year 8 students are already skilled at crochet and so it will be good to have them tutoring each other.

Year 11s have been busily getting stuck into the ‘prototyping’ stage of their final GCSE coursework pieces.  The girls are working exceptionally hard and have been making me very proud by seeing how they have taken such a mature and motivated approach to this challenging section of the Design & Technology GCSE. We look forward to seeing them begin their final products after Christmas. Keep up the great work, Year 11!
