Curriculum aim: D&T

Design and Technology (D&T) is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. It prepares all young people to live and work in the designed and made world. We give students the confidence and the technical ability to design and make their ideas. We encourage individuality and creativity and make students question their ideas and designs to regularly look at how their work can be improved and how their designs can be made to work more effectively.

Curriculum aim: Food and Nutrition

Our aim is to give students an understanding of the role and value of food in society. We hope to develop a broad knowledge and understanding of healthy eating patterns and develop the practical skills that are needed to prepare and cook tasty, nutritious food.

Curriculum aim: Media

All of us are surrounded by the media every day. This course is designed to support students in their investigation into how the media shapes the world in which we live. It offers opportunities to learn about real media products and industries, the different ways in which audiences are targeted and to produce pieces of practical media that integrates with media theories and concepts. All lessons are based in the media suite with equipment specifically for media studies students.
