Design & Technology (D&T) is concerned with meeting human needs through design, manufacturing and appropriate use of technologies. Students focus on ‘design for good’ by investigating and developing solutions to real world problems. They will develop a critical understanding of how and why products are made. This includes an in-depth understanding of materials, their sources and environmental impact.
In general, we request a minimum of 3 Grade 6s and 2 Grade 5s. A GCSE grade 6 in D&T is desirable, though it is recognised that many Sixth Form entrants have not had the opportunity to study this subject.
Paper 1 (2 hours 30 minutes): Technical principles (25%) Paper 2 (1 hour 30 minutes): Designing and Making principles (25%) Non-exam assessment (NEA): Designing and Making project (50%)
