Design and Technology

Our Design Technology curriculum inspires students to become creative, innovative and confident problem-solvers.

Through designing, making and evaluating, students develop the knowledge, technical skills and resilience to transform ideas into practical solutions that respond to real-world challenges. 

Students learn how designers and engineers think, exploring the principles of design, materials, manufacturing and sustainability while developing a strong understanding of the role design plays in shaping the world around us. As a multidisciplinary subject, Design Technology draws on science, mathematics, engineering, art and the humanities, enabling students to make meaningful connections across the curriculum. 

We are committed to broadening students' cultural capital by exposing them to a diverse range of designers, products and technologies, helping them understand how innovation influences society, industry and the economy. Through ambitious, hands-on learning, students develop creativity, critical thinking and the confidence to generate original ideas and skills that will prepare them for further study and life beyond the classroom.
