Design Technology
Design and Technology offers students the opportunity to experience a variety of creative and practical activities where they express their creative skills and imagination. Students develop their understanding of materials, properties and different processes. As their confidence and communication develops, this enables them to lead groups and projects. Independence and decision making allow students to develop their critical thinking, analysing and evaluation skills. Students are then able to confidently complete qualifications in construction and express their internalised knowledge. Off-site visits and work experience provide students with vital real-life experiences and opportunities. Through the attainment of these skills and experiences, students are provided with the opportunity to pursue a career in the construction industry.
