Textiles Vision Statement
The Design and Technology department firmly believes that students learn best by ‘doing’ and by allowing students to experiment and take design risks, in a safe and stimulating environment where there is emphasis on potential, success and achievement for all.
Our vision is to inspire, engage and challenge students in a rich and creative curriculum. We aim to offer a breadth of opportunities to experiment, invent and create through various practical specialisms as well as through critical and contextual understanding.
