Food, Design & Technology
Foundation Statement
Design Technology at The King’s Academy is a subject area covering hospitality and catering, engineering design and design technology. Our ambition is for our students to see the significance of good quality design and making, and to understand the positive contribution that hospitality and catering providers, engineers and designers make in the UK economy. Our key aim is to develop students’ designing and making abilities whilst building confidence in their own abilities, developing students’ self-esteem as they learn to produce good quality practical outcomes. Students also learn the virtue of self-control as they persevere in practical work, considering the needs and wants of others.
DT helps students to consider the impact of global events on the environment. It builds teamwork and social skills and helps students to see the benefits of contributing to a community through its close work with Academy events. Students who study Design Technology have the practical skills and knowledge needed to access a large variety of post 16 and post 18 occupations and courses which support the needs to the local economy and beyond.
