Studying Design Technology helps to prepare our young people for living and working in a technological world. At Gunnersbury, we endeavour to achieve this by teaching the technical understanding, design methods and making skill needed to produce practical solutions to real problems. We stimulate both intellectual and creative abilities and develop the personal qualities needed to complete a design project from the identified problem, through research and design, to planning, making and evaluating.
