The extensive facilities within the Design and Technology
Department make it possible for pupils to experience a whole range
of designing and making activities, including Food
Technology, Resistant
Materials Technology and Textiles
Technology. Across these subjects, girls in Years 7, 8 and 9
are encouraged to design and develop products through which they
learn the skills necessary to achieve carefully constructed
outcomes. Girls moving onto GCSE and Advanced Level are encouraged
to take an independent and experimental approach in order to
develop original ideas and plan these through to the making of high
quality products.
The department encourages pupils to explore their interest in
the individual subject areas further by providing a diverse range
of clubs and activities. We also take part in an annual Year
9 three day cross curricular event which provides pupils with the
opportunity to pool skills and knowledge gained from a combination
of subjects in a pupil led creative outcome.
