If you have enjoyed the challenge and innovation of GCSE Design Technology, and would like to develop and sustain these skills, then this is the course for you. Product design is a subject that provides the opportunity to study, propose and bring to life prototype solutions closely linked to the real world of product manufacture, in a range of material areas. Some students lean towards the particular areas such as resistant materials, textiles, graphics, or a combination of materials. This course will encourage you to initiate design solutions, and to develop, test and trial working models and prototypes. Using your imagination, innovation and flair, you will work with concepts and materials, developing an understanding of contemporary design and technological practices and consider the uses and effects of new technologies and modern materials.
In order to enter the Sixth Form, it is a requirement that you attain an average of Grade 4 from your Key Stage 4 courses and meet the individual subject requirements. It is also a requirement that you will have achieved at least a Grade 4 in Mathematics and English at GCSE level.
Within the learning through design and making component, you have the opportunity to develop and build upon a range of skills from GCSE including product analysis, designing and making. For the examination content materials, components and application, much will be automatically covered; however there will be discrete lessons to support this.
