Design and Technology is a subject focused on solving problems with creative and imaginative solutions. Our students are introduced to challenging, relevant and exciting concepts that encourage them to think up and create solutions that demonstrate understanding, originality and possibility. 

In a world where technology is now part of everyone’s daily life, it is vital to understand how things work and the knock on effects this might have for the world we live in. Understanding how materials, manufacturing process and design procedures work in respect to environmental, sustainable, moral and ethical decisions is part of creating “good design” and a focus we adopt in Design and Technology at Samuel Ward Academy.
