In studying product design at SGS, students will benefit from a range of highly experienced design staff that is able to offer them the experience of designing and making products to a high commercial quality. All aspects of modern and traditional technology are considered and it is envisaged that the students will be able to make discerning choices as to which techniques are fit for purpose. The broad range of knowledge that students gather will enable them to critically evaluate designs of the twentieth and twenty first centuries. This will give them the skills to design and make their own products which in every way are equal to or better than those which can be purchased commercially.
Each year, we are delighted to welcome new students into our Sixth Form. All prospective Sixth Form students from other schools can enjoy a taster day at Stafford Grammar School and have an interview with the Head of Sixth Form. Offers of entry into the Sixth Form are then conditional upon GCSE results. A place in the Sixth Form is conditional upon students gaining at least 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or equivalent, including at least a grade 4 in Mathematics and English Language. Often there will be a requirement of the minimum of a grade 6 or equivalent for those subjects that the student wishes to study at AS level. For AS Mathematics, students must have followed the Higher Tier course and gained at least a grade 7 or equivalent. Any offer is also conditional upon a successful application including an interview and a satisfactory reference from the student’s current school. Almost everyone in the Lower Sixth Form studies four AS levels and the majority go on to study three A-level courses. Some students do continue with four A-levels, but this is dependent on academic and career aims.
