The
Design and Technology department is located on the ground floor of the
main building. At present, there are 5 full time teachers delivering
the courses offered by the department. In addition there are two technicians supporting the department.
The
department consists of four workshops and three classrooms, which are
well equipped with computers and technology equipment. In addition there
are two smaller specialist rooms, one is dedicated to advanced manufacturing
and CADCAM with a laser cutter and a 4D machining centre, the other is
a CAD and study room for exclusive use by Year 12/13 D&T students.
The
department is particularly well equipped with a full range of traditional
tools and machines for working in wood, metals and plastics. We are also
particularly well resourced with equipment for teaching systems and control,
engineering, pneumatics, electronics and graphics. The department has
a large number of PCs and all students are expected to be proficient with
Pro/DESKTOP by the end of KS3. All of our PCs are connected to the school
network giving both Internet access and Intranet. A3 colour printers
and laser printers ensure high quality graphic output.
All
students at KS3 have a double lesson of Design and Technology every week.
At
GCSE we offer AQA Resistant Materials, AQA Product Design and
BTEC Engineering.
All
GCSE groups have three sixty minute lessons - a double lesson and a single
lesson.
In
years 12/13 the department offers EDEXCEL Product Design at AS and A2. BTEC Advanced Diploma in Engineering is also offered. There is a strong vocational element in the work
of the department, which is well supported by the local authority IAS.
The department has developed strong links with local industry working with the local Education Business
Partnership (EBP).
Links have also been established with the University of East London product
design department and the school of architecture.
