Design and Technology (Textiles Technology)

Assessment

During Year 12, pupils complete a series of smaller projects that cover key skills in drawing, prototyping, use of the Fashion and Textiles workshop, CAD/CAM, and iterative designing. Pupils also complete a series of lessons that will prepare them for practice exam papers at waypoints throughout the year. During Year 13 pupils will be assessed through a Non-Exam Assessment (NEA- coursework) which is worth 50% of the final overall grade awarded. Pupils will create their own design briefs and go through the design process culminating in a working prototype. There will also be two separate exam assessments which, combined, account for the remaining 50% of the final overall grade.
