Design Technology
The aim of Key Stage 3 Design technology is to develop a trusting relationship with our students where, by the end of the key stage, they can routinely take risks or chances when designing secure in the knowledge that failure is possible but seen as positive. In this way they will reach for more challenging or risky solutions to the problems they are set. They will have been assured that they will complete increasingly complex tasks and produce an outcome of value in a range of materials, using techniques that are unique to Design Technology as well as employing those gained in other subjects particularly Science, Art, Maths, History, English, Geography, RS, ICT and PSHE.
