Students are encouraged to use creativity and imagination to develop and modify designs and make products that solve real and relevant problems. Students are encouraged to integrate and apply their understanding and knowledge from other subject areas studied during Key Stage 4, with a particular focus on science and mathematics.

A substantial design, make, and evaluation project that fully exemplifies their skills, knowledge, and understanding of fashion and textiles. The project will allow students to demonstrate their abilities in the iterative processes of designing, making, testing, refining, improving, and evaluating. This constitutes 50% of the qualification.
