If you have studied Design and Technology you will need a grade 5 at GCSE, however, if you didn’t do the subject at GCSE we will look at each individual and assess your suitability.
In Year 13 the specification offers candidates the opportunity to design, manufacture and test a product of their choice. This is submitted for assessment and contributes to 50% of the A-Level course. The remaining 50% of the course is assessed through two written exams at the end of Year 13.
