Welcome to Sixth Form Design Technology
In design and technology pupils combine practical and technological skills with
creative thinking to design and make products and systems that meet human needs.
They learn to use current technologies and consider the impact of future technological
developments. They learn to think creatively and intervene to improve the quality
of life, solving problems as individuals and members of a team.
Aims & Curriculum
Working in stimulating contexts that provide a range of opportunities and draw on
the local ethos, community and wider world, pupils identify needs and opportunities.
They respond with ideas, products and systems, challenging expectations where appropriate.
They combine practical and intellectual skills with an understanding of aesthetic,
technical, cultural, health, social, emotional, economic, industrial and environmental
issues. As they do so, they evaluate present and past design and technology, and
its uses and effects. Through design and technology pupils develop confidence in
using practical skills and become discriminating users of products. They apply their
creative thinking and learn to be innovative.
At both levels coursework is produced; at AS level this takes the form of a portfolio
evidencing Investigation, Designing and Manufacture and at A2 the Design and Manufacture
of a Commercial Design. There are also written examinations at each level.
Exam Results
Working with a large range of abilities our results cover the full range available.
Most students will achieve better than predicted demonstrating good value added.
A number of our pupils have progressed to college and university to study related
courses; Product Design, Engineering, Civil Engineering.
