Design Technology is an inspiring, innovative and practical subject.Using creativity and your imagination, you will design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering your own and others’ needs, wants and values. You will acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and draw on disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art. You will learn how to take risks, becoming resourceful, innovative, enterprising, independent and capable. You will evaluate past and present design and technology, developing a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world. Design Technology education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation and around the world. A Level Design Technology appeals to a wide range of students. The course has proven to support many areas of future study from all aspects of Design, to Architecture and Engineering, and even Medicine.
For new students, entry to the Sixth Form is dependent on GCSE grades, an interview with the Headmaster and a school reference. To enter our Sixth Form and be successful, we like to see grade 7s in the GCSE subjects a student wishes to take at A Level (8s for Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Maths) or in relevant subjects, with at least six grades 6s overall. We also accept students onto BTEC Sport and Exercise Science plus one A Level. For this combination, we like to see at least six grade 5s at GCSE overall, with a 7 in a relevant subject for the A Level. Below this attainment level, likely, we are not the right match for a student, although we are happy to discuss exceptional circumstances.
The A Level consists of 50% coursework and 50% final exam.
