Hair and Beauty 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.

Examination Courses

Key Stage 4 

At KS4 you will be studying a Level 2 Certificate in Hair and Beauty which is the equivalent to a GCSE. This qualification is through VTCT, the largest Hair and Beauty provider. The qualification is carried out over two years and is made up two units. One is a classroom-based assignment and the second is the exam unit, both completed in Year 11.

The assignment and exam are based around the hair and beauty industry and involves a lot of business theory.
