Design Technology gives students the chance to develop their knowledge, confidence and to articulate their hard work and progress. Within this subject, we aim to create the very best artists, designers and creative thinkers.
We are dedicated to developing critical thinking and visual literacy through a challenging and engaging environment. We hope to develop a lifelong passion to learn, explore, create and work like those in the field would. Our subjects empower students through collaboration and encourages the sharing of ideas and with peer critiques students are
guided to be positive, specific and helpful to discuss their own work and that of others. By placing this focus on our curriculum, we want to make learning accessible, rewarding, thought provoking and meaningful to all, allowing us to challenge students to problem solve and reach their potential.
