Assessment
We follow the AQA specification (4557) for DT Product Design. This specification consists of two units which are assessed at the very end of the course.
Support
The Design & Technology department offer both lunch-time and after school sessions for students who need extra time to complete coursework. We also offer extra revision sessions at lunch times and during non-contact periods as the examination season approaches. Students must buy the Letts and Lonsdale ‘Essentials’ revision guide and work book as this is integral to the course.
