Croydon, Greater London, United Kingdom The Quest Academy Full time

Design Technology is taught within the Department of The Creative Arts with KS3 students being taught two periods per fortnight and KS4 students for six periods per fortnight in both Year 10 and Year 11.

At KS3, students have the opportunity to become multi-disciplinary and experience four strands of Design Technology specialisms – Resistant Materials, Graphics, Textiles and Hospitality and Catering (formally known as Food Technology).

At KS4, students study the new GCSE 9-1 in Design Technology but still have the option of specialising in one of the 3 subject areas for their coursework and will follow the AQA specifications for each.

Each member of the Design and Technology team works under the supervision of the Creative Arts Team Leader. Schemes of Work, Teaching Notes and Assessments have been well developed over recent years and provide the foundation for high standard outcomes by students across all key stages. There is a strong team ethos within Design Technology and close working with other subjects, such as Media Studies, Business, Art, Music, Drama, ICT and Computer Science. All students are fully equipped with textbooks, revision guides early on for KS4 to ensure they are set up for success. Emphasis on students' effort and attainment is on both practical and theoretical elements of Design and Technology.

The Design and Technology team is a dynamic, friendly and highly successful department. Examination results are very good in this subject with high retention from KS3 to KS4, which is a combination of students wanting to excel in this subject and the delivery of the work from the team.

The Design and Technology Centre has gone from strength to strength with a fully equipped practical workshop, new computers with a host of relevant packages such as Google Sketch Up, 2D Design, Adobe Master Collection and Autodesk Fusion 360. It has also the additional benefit of having an A1 Laser cutter, CAM cutters in all rooms and a 3D printer. The department has made good links with external agencies and companies from industry, with workshops and funding continually taking place to enable students to have access to the wider design world.
