Key Stage 4
We offer two full GCSE courses at KS4:
Resistant Materials and Product Design
They are both very practical courses, including visits to the Design Museum and companies able to show students different aspects of industrial manufacturing processes.
Resistant Materials focuses on products predominantly manufactured in woods, metals and/or plastics, whereas Product Design has scope for students to integrate core elements of Textiles, Graphic Design and Resistant Materials.
Mark allocation for Resistant Materials and Product Design: 60% for coursework; 40% for the final Examination.
The deadline for all Year 11 coursework assessment is February.
