Programme of Study
The Programme of Study for Key Stage 3 outlines 4 areas, which form the elements of the course. The skills and elements to be taught as described in the current Programme of Study are:
- Designing
- Communicating
- Manufacturing
- Using Energy and Control
The units of work, which are listed below, are designed to introduce the pupils to the various elements of the Programme of Study.
All pupils in Years 8 – 10 study Technology and Design. We offer a very wide range of experiences and the opportunity to make great projects that become more complex as the pupil moves through the Key Stage. We have developed our projects to ensure both Boys and Girls can engage and enjoy. A list of projects are listed on the Units of Work below.
