Health and Social Care

The Technology department aims to develop students’ knowledge, skills and individual talents across the range of technology disciplines. Our curriculum is broad and balanced and provides students with a range of opportunities to develop a love of the subject, building their confidence in practical application of the skills and giving them an understanding of how design technology is used in the wider world.

At KS3 students follow the national programmes of study and have the opportunity to plan, design and make products which not only inspire creativity, but also develop valuable skills for life. With the knowledge they have gained in KS3, the students are able to make informed choices about study at KS4 and beyond.

We are ambitious for our students and at KS4 we offer a range of subjects that enable students to specialise further in an area of interest. These subjects include Engineering, Hospitality and Catering, Child Development and Health and Social Care. All courses have a vocational context and have both internal and external assessments.

Outside of the classroom we offer opportunities to develop their knowledge and love of the subject. There are opportunities for students to take part in competitions and apply for roles as subject ambassadors.
