Overview
ADT’s aim is to offer the students a curriculum which will engage and enthuse a passion for the subject. Giving them the opportunity to explore practical activities which will enable them to master the skills and secure their knowledge.
We aim to provide the subject specific skills and knowledge as a platform for the students to make their next steps, from KS3 to KS4, then onto a professional career within the Creative sector or further education.
In KS4 during year 9 the department will offer the students the opportunity to start GCSE’s and Btec’s in the following subjects
-
Btec Construction and the Built Environment

GCSE Design and Technology (Edexcel)
-
GCSE Art and Design (AQA)
-

Students will be taught in mixed ability groups during two one hour lessons per week.
The aim of Year 9 is to develop subject specific skills and knowledge required for the completion of none examined assessments and exam content.
