The Design and Technology Department at DVHS delivers a broad and creative curriculum that provides pupils with experiences across a range of subjects encompassing product and graphic design, computer aided design and manufacture, electronics, textiles, timbers, polymers and food and nutrition. 

Our aim is to inspire the designers and engineers of the future; equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed for a world in which the client is key, technologies constantly improve and sustainability is fast becoming the primary focus in functional design. Pupils are expected to demonstrate resilience and an aptitude for problem solving as they learn about and apply design and construction processes across the key stages. 

 

Within Food and Nutrition our aim is to ensure that our students can make informed decisions in relation to their own health and that of those around them. Pupils develop their understanding of nutrition and dietary needs and increasingly apply this as they become competent in safely and confidently executing a range a range of predominantly savoury dishes.
