Banovallum School

Design Technology & Food

Our intent is to provide a breadth of experience in a wide range of skills areas for all students from Year 7 onwards. Our foundations are focussed on delivering practical and theory skills which will be required to enable every student who opts in for D&T/Food at KS4 to be independent, confident and proficient in all areas. We aim to instil a sense of pride, responsibility and safe working practices at each lesson’s core so pupils can apply knowledge and be creative within a structured environment, preparing them for further learning in the workplace and providing integral life skills.

Implementation

Years 7 and 8 follow a carousel system covering all three areas of D&T: Food, Resistant Materials and Textiles. These are delivered by fully trained subject specialists in bespoke classrooms with additional DT specific IT Provision to add value.

We offer GCSE D&T through the AQA route from Year 9 onwards, where students experience the demands and are prepared for the controlled assessment (NEA) and the theoretical studies to complete the exam. We run assessments in all years (7-11) to embed the knowledge, identify areas for improvement with each individual and focus our revision plan on personalised areas of study.

We also offer GCSE Food & Nutrition covering a wide range of skills and theory to support successful outcomes.
