Our department is a well-equipped, busy and exciting environment. It has three manufacturing spaces supported by two dedicated ICT suites, and a dedicated Sixth Form product design studio with rapid prototyping facilities. Compulsory in the First, Second and Third Years, the curriculum introduces students to effective design communication and a wide range of manufacturing opportunities. At GCSE and A Level, students undertake practical design projects, increasingly driven by their own analysis.
We also actively encourage and support students with an interest in engineering to work towards gaining an Arkwright Engineering Scholarship and we have a large number of successful scholars in the Sixth Form.
