Course summary

Students follow the Edexcel Design and Technology Product Design course. The students are given the opportunity to come up with their own context and design brief giving them complete control over the project. A client must be identified and consulted throughout the design process which allows the girls to work in a similar style to how they would for a product design company. The theory work at A Level looks at commercial product design and manufacture and covers a wide range of areas related to engineering, architecture and design history. Students benefit from small class sizes which provide ample time for feedback on their work as they progress through the project, which is submitted as a manufactured product, supported by a design folder, and counts for 50% of the A Level. The other 50% is a written examination taken at the end of the Upper Sixth.

Entry requirements

Conditional offers are made in early December. Students are expected to achieve a minimum of eight GCSE passes with at least seven at Grade 7 or above. We also expect the students to obtain a Grade 7 or above in those subjects they wish to study in Sixth Form.
