Our subject has a \u2018Subject Way\u2019 at the heart of it. Our Subject Way is designed to help students become young subject specialists. The Subject Way has two main purposes:<\/p>

Firstly, to teach students the vital skills they need to achieve their full potential and gain the very best grades they can. Secondly, to teach students how each subject relates to the wider world, incorporating the life skills they will learn.<\/p>

It is our belief that knowing how what you learn links to the wider world, brings a subject to life and therefore improves overall understanding and engagement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The vision for Design and Technology across WPT is that every student regardless of background or context receives a high quality and engaging education that becomes a valued part of their daily lives and if they wish allows them to pursue the subject further into higher education or employment<\/p>

The Design and Technology curriculum aims to develop students\u2019 skills, knowledge, values and passion for Design and Technology, to allow them to be successful in an ever-changing world. Students will develop their problem solving, organisation, planning, creativity and analysis skills through a carefully developed curriculum. This provides opportunities for students to gain understanding of a range of materials, ingredients and the impact these have on themselves and the world around them. Strong values of high expectations, pride in their work, confidence, strong work ethic and a growth mindset are instilled in students throughout their education in Design and Technology at WPT. A deep passion for the subject is developed, through highly engaging and relevant curriculum content, with an emphasis of involving industry in the classroom through an extensive network of links with third parties.<\/p>

In order to allow students to reach their potential and fulfil their personal aspirations they are given a wide range of subjects to continue their study at KS4.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
