Overview

​

At Key Stage 3, our Technology and Design department empowers students to become problem-solvers, sparking creativity and innovation. Through a knowledge rich, hands-on curriculum, pupils explore key themes such as electronics, materials, and sustainability, which are developed in depth across Years 8, 9, and 10.

 

Students bring their ideas to life in our fully equipped workshops, where they design and manufacture a variety of exciting projects including bird feeders, phone holders, clocks, and desk lamps. These practical experiences help build technical skills, precision, and a strong sense of achievement.

 

In Year 9, students also dive deeper into graphics, learning how visual communication plays a vital role in design and product development. Whether they're designing eco-friendly products, building electronic circuits, or using CAD software to bring ideas to life, our students are encouraged to innovate, reflect, and refine their work.

​

Our department fosters curiosity, resilience, and a strong understanding of how design and technology shape the world around us—preparing learners for future study and careers in STEM, engineering and creative industries.
