Curriculum Focus for the Year	Skills and Safety	In Year 7 our curriculum focuses on building the safety knowledge within the technology learning environments within school as well as acclimatising students to the equipment, machinery, and resources that they will be using throughout their time at WGSG. The theory content of the different materials used is covered through homework with a focus in class on development and progression of basic skills within all areas of technology. This is to ensure that students have a good foundation knowledge of key materials supporting their learning into Year 8 and 9 with contextualised projects which will implement and further develop the skills learnt in Year 7. The Year 7 focus of skills and safety introduces key topic areas which are studied throughout KS4 and KS5

Curriculum Focus for the Year	Sustainability and the Environment	In Year 8 our curriculum focus is sustainability and the environment linking in the world around us with the focus on the three main areas of sustainability: environment, economic and social. This focus is crucial to students understanding of the world around them and how we can contribute as a society to ensuring that our actions do not have a negative impact on future generations. The projects focus on both food sustainability through the food provenance module, our built environment through town planning and also two career focus modules with the design to ensuring that the students’ future skills and employment options are clear. The skills and safety knowledge learnt in Year 7 are applied to new contexts and new scenarios throughout Year 8 as well an developing the traditional technology skills discreetly through our Food Preparation and Nutrition and Designing the Built Environment focus modules. All topics learnt in Year 8 develop key learning areas and skills studied throughout KS4 and KS5. Technology projects are taught in rotation so could be taught in a different order than shown below

At Key Stage 3 each half term consists of four types of assessment in the module being undertaken, the first is a teacher assessment, followed by a homework, a practical assessment and an end of topic test

The GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition course will be assessed by using practice NEA papers and past examination questions, as well as frequent topic assessments to help them practice timed responses. The students undertake a total of 30 hours for NEA work and a 1 hour 45 minutes exam paper at the end of the course

The Designing the Built Environment course is assessed through a 12 hour unit 2 assessment, a 6 hour unit 3 assessment and a 6 hour timed exam. These assessments take place across the two year course with practice questions and full mocks regularly taking place.

It is widely noted that the skills learned in Design Technology across the key stages are all highly regarded skills in many careers. The creative arts industry is one of the fastest growing in the country and contributes over £75 billion to the economy, meaning that there are a huge range of careers both at home and abroad that offer a rewarding experience and healthy salary.
