This exciting course offers students the opportunity to identify real market needs for new products and, using creativity and imagination, develop designs and make prototypes that solve real-world problems. Theoretical study is intertwined with practical problem solving using some of the latest technologies available including laser cutters, 3D printers and CNC (computer numerical control) machinery. The Design Centre is very well equipped to provide students with a very real insight into the world of design, manufacture and engineering. Students develop key skills in problem-solving, communication, ICT and working in a team as well as subject-specific skills.
To achieve at least six GCSE passes at Grade 6 or above. For some subjects where nationally, the GCSE score is above average (such as Maths), Grade 7 is required.
