Course summary

Design is both a form of communication and a means of expressing ideas from the chair that we sit on to the car and aeroplane that we drive and fly. It is often the cutting edge of technology that pushes and develops our creative and innovative mindset. Design Technology encompasses all aspects of the mathematical, scientific and artistic subjects that blend the complex thought involving perception and aesthetic experience. The course will undoubtedly provide opportunities for personal development and expression, encouraging innovation and creativity enhanced by analysing and evaluating skills.

Entry requirements

We expect all pupils progressing from UV into the Sixth Form at Wycombe Abbey to achieve a minimum of six GCSE passes at grades 7, 8 or 9. A GCSE grade 7 or above is required for the subjects you wish to study at A level (excluding those subjects which are not offered at GCSE, although a grade 7 or above should be achieved in a subject which requires similar skills). Should a pupil not achieve this standard, a discussion will be held with the pupil, her parents and relevant staff members to support them in finding a suitable alternative route.

How you'll be assessed

The course is both internally marked and externally assessed by moderators and examiners at the examination board at the end of Upper Sixth.
