Design & Technology

Who designs our mobile phones? How are they manufactured?
The answer? Probably somebody who loved their Design and Technology lessons in school!
​Starting in year 5, pupils begin to develop the skills that enable them to design and make increasingly more sophisticated products as they work their way through to year 8.
​ We encourage the application of skills learnt in English, maths, science and art, developing and combining them to give our pupils a real taste of how everyday objects are designed and made.
​Most of all, in the Design and Technology Department, we all succeed. Everybody designs, everybody makes, everybody learns and every one is a problem solver.
