Engineering
Our aim is to enable our students to be able to problem solve confidently. Using maths and sciences to develop existing designs to solve every day problems. Students learn how to design and communicate their designs, they will learn the design process along with engineer’s drawings and what’s involved within industry.
Curriculum Plans
Year 7, 8 & 9
What are we studying?
See curriculum plan above.How are we assessed?
At the end of your rotation you will have a theory assessment made up of 50 marks. This will go towards 50% of your overall grade for the subject. You will then be assessed on your practical work looking at how accurate your final product is. This will complete the other 50% of your overall grade.
What can parents do to help?
Offer support during homework’s.
Talk about products within society that have been engineered
Students will be given a knowledge organiser throughout the rotation. This will be uploaded to both Class charts and teams. Parents can liaise with children to ensure they are revising sufficiently for their end of rotation assessment
