Course Summary It is our belief in the Design and Technology Department at Bede’s that creativity is a fundamental part of our subject. [Insert Head of Dept name]
[Insert department] Many designerssummary believe the quality of the initial idea and thought-provoking, innovative design to be cornerstones Course of every successful product. Pupils learn a great deal throughout the course and grasp many processes beyond those simply needed to succeed academically. The creative ‘Design and Make’ activities we offer at Bede’s help to develop creativity and confidence in our stuCourse dent’s ability tosummary think, question, explore, create and communicate. DT is about solving problems, equipping young people with a range of solutions and helping them to determine the best ones to follow. Combining knowledge and understanding with practical skills, these activities are intended to provide breadthsummary in creative learning and depth in the application of practical and transferable skills. Course “Before I came to Bede’s I had never had any particular interest in DT. Since coming here 3 years ago I have developed a real passion for the subject I enjoyed the GCSE course and did rather well in it – not only in terms of grades. I genuinely enjoyed myself along the way. Now I look at products and am able to see, simply from the way that they look, how they are made and what materials they were made from. At the end of GCSE I didn’t want to leave my knowledge as it was. I felt that I needed to add more to it, so I am now taking A Level and loving it!”
