KS4
At GCSE, in Year 10, students study a range of smaller projects; seagulls, picture frame, 3D printed object, focusing on a range of skills that will be needed for their Non Examinable Assessment (NEA).
The course comprises of 50% NEA and 50% exam (2hr).
In year 11, students produce a portfolio and a practical outcome that, with guidance, satisfies a need that has been identified to a brief provided by the exam board. Students currently produce high quality concepts which would not look out of place in a design shop.
We really try to promote independence in the student’s designing, with this coupled with an excellent course structure, our students really thrive in our exciting environment.
