Design Technology has a special role to play at Rumworth School.
It provides broad, balanced and relevant situations to which
pupils can relate. It is delivered under the subject headings of
Food, Resistant Materials, Graphics and CAD/CAM. Activities
allow pupils to use their own experience as a basis to build
knowledge, understanding and skills. By its very nature and by a
problem solving approach, topics can be studied with a view to
their application in everyday life. Activities will allow for
independent and individual research and design work. Many of the
skills encountered are transferable to other curriculum areas
and can be considered “life skills”
