Introduction and ethos of subject
Design and Technology at WCSA is a creative, rigorous and practical subject which provides opportunities for our students to develop a broad range of subject knowledge, skills and understanding; combining their designing and making skills in order to create high quality useable products.
By studying Design & Technology our students learn how to take risks, therefore creating resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable adults for the future. Through the evaluation of past and present products, they develop a critical understanding of the potential impact on daily life and the wider world.

to develop the creative, technical and practical expertise needed to perform everyday tasks confidently and to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world
to build and apply a repertoire of knowledge, understanding and skills in order to design and make high-quality prototypes and products for a wide range of users
