KS3
Within KS3 students have 2 lessons a week and will follow a termly rotation of the following Technology subjects:

Resistant Materials - Students will be introduced to the workshops by completing a Health and Safety Module.  Students will then experience a range of design and make activities using wood, metal and plastics.  We aim to give students a wide range of experiences to help build confidence and self-esteem in the workshops.  This allows students to follow this subject to GCSE level.

Within the Textile modules students will learn a range of techniques such as Tie Die, embroidery, embellishment, painting and machining. Students will use these skills to manufacture products like hats, ties, bags and clothing.

Within Graphics students focus on solving problems through the design process and communicate ideas using a range of media. Courses such as graphics aim to inspire students' creativity and technical knowledge to produce effective and realistic design proposals. This allows students to follow this subject to GCSE level.

Food and Catering - In the technology kitchens, students will learn about Health and Safety issues when dealing with food products.  Students will complete projects which will involve designing, making, testing and evaluating food.  Students could also practice the recipes at home on willing participants!
