Design & Technology (KS4):
It is essential for boys to gain a deep understanding of the theory of this subject in order to apply this into problem solving and their design work. To assist this there are regular homework tasks to focus their attention on developing an awareness and appreciation of the tools, processes and equipment used, in both a school and industrial context.
The boys will work with a range of constructional and graphics materials, and then they are to apply their newly acquired knowledge and skills into completing a "design and make" project. This, together with other examples of good practice in their coursework, will form the basis of their portfolio, which is submitted as part of their examination (60% of the final mark). They will also carry out a case study, which aims to look at the ways in which industry might 'design and make' products differently to the way we work in schools.
Assessment Scheme (GCSE):
a) Terminal Examination-40%
b) Coursework Portfolio (incl case sudy)-60%
