Design and Technology (Product Design)

Entry Requirements

We expect pupils entering Sixth Form to have secured 45 points from their best 8 GCSE grades (grades of 3 or below may not be included). Students new to Dame Allan’s will also be invited to interview. Due to the increased level of demand and the necessity for candidates to plan and complete a detailed and independent investigation developed over the two years, candidates should have obtained a minimum grade of 6 in GCSE design and technology to opt for this course. The ability to communicate through drawing and detailed self-assessment of candidates’ design work features strongly, therefore we consider these skills an important asset.
