The Department
The Technology Department includes Resistant Materials, Graphics, Textiles and Food Technology. Technology is a popular subject both at Key Stage 3 and GCSE, with demand exceeding capacity. The department is well resourced with two workshops (one housing a laser cutter and a 3D printer), one textiles room, and a designated Food room. A full time technician ably assists in the preparation for Food Technology lessons and supports students with SEND.
The department is also supported by a Lead Practitioner within the Trust, ensuring high standards of teaching and learning are maintained.
