GCSE Information Afternoon: Design Technology

11th Nov 2026

With our GCSE Information Afternoon taking place on 17th November, we would like to shine a spotlight on the exciting opportunities offered by the Design and Technology department. We are thrilled to be able to offer all four subject areas currently being studied at Key Stage 3. All the subjects are creative, practical and highly worthwhile in developing skills for life beyond the classroom. Pupils have the opportunity to choose to turn their ideas into reality through practical projects in Graphics, Textiles or Resistant materials.

If developing valuable cooking skills, nutritional knowledge and an understanding of healthy eating is of interest to your child, then consider opting for Food Preparation and Nutrition. All the GCSE Design and Technology areas encourage creativity, problem-solving, independence and resilience, combining hands-on learning with essential theoretical knowledge. Whether designing and making products or preparing delicious dishes, pupils gain a real sense of achievement and develop skills that will benefit them in further education, future careers and everyday life. Join us in T11 on Tuesday, 17th November to find out more!
