Design & Technology
The Design & Technology department at All Saints offers creative opportunities for students to develop their design and making skills through a range of projects and contexts. In year 7, 8 and 9, these projects are designed to secure key skills through increasingly complex tasks that underpin the students learning experience in year 10 and 11. In year 10 and 11, the department offers GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition, GCSE Product Design and BTEC Engineering.
Design and Technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. Using creativity and imagination, pupils design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. They acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and draw on disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art. Pupils learn how to take risks, becoming resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. Through the evaluation of past and present design and technology, they develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world’. Department for Education.
