Plan of course - Year 7 & 8 Design & Technology
PROJECTS and ACTIVITIES
D&T is a very practical and dynamic subject in which pupils will work individually and in teams to develop their skills. A wide range of activities take place, from projects lasting one lesson to those that could take a number of weeks.
Our aim is to enable all pupils to achieve their best no matter what their ability.
We aim to do this in a fun way whist still developing their capabilities in a series of ever increasing challenges using the National Curriculum programmes of study.

As a department we will make it a priority to develop and incorporate Business and Enterprise activities and the issues of in designing and making where appropriate.
