Design and Technology (Textiles Technology)

Assessment

Pupils are assessed by one three-hour written examination and through a non-exam assessment (NEA) consisting of 80 hours of design and project work. The written examination is based around design and technology within the 21st century, with a mix of structured and extended writing questions that assess the knowledge and understanding of technical, designing and making principles along with the ability to analyse and evaluate wider issues. The non-examined assessment consists of producing an A3 sketchbook and supporting a digital portfolio of work.
