Design & Technology
Welcome to Design Technology
Design Technology is a buzzing haven of Design, Engineering and creativity. Our department entices budding chefs, designers, engineers and designers to explore and problem solve industrial style challenges. Students are enthused and inspired whilst being nurtured to gain confidence in the practical elements of the subject. DT uses cross curricular subject knowledge such as Science, Maths and English in contrast to practical hands on learning.
