Projects include pizza wheels in Food and Nutrition, a pen holder in Engineering, a designer tile in 3D Design and modelling a trainer in Graphics.
Please view the PowerPoints below, to see what you could be studying at GCSE in Design & Technology. If you chose to study with us for your GCSE then these courses will commence in Term 6 of year 9 with an introductory project to prepare and increase your skill level for year 10 and 11.
