Celebrating Excellence: KS3 Design and Technology Awards Evening
On Monday 10th June, the KS3 Design and Technology Awards were proudly presented by myself as Head of the Design and Technology Faculty, alongside Faculty teaching staff, in recognition of outstanding student achievement throughout the academic year.
Students receiving awards demonstrated excellence across a wide range of skills and attributes. All awardees consistently produced high-quality classwork, showed a confident and safe approach within the Design and Technology environment, and acted as positive role models to their peers. Many also supported other learners, willingly sharing their growing expertise.
Particularly impressive was the students’ innovative approach to design, their eagerness to explore wider concepts, and their advanced skills in CAD/CAM technologies. With attention to detail and high-level finishing techniques, they truly embodied the spirit of problem-solving and creative thinking that lies at the heart of Design and Technology.
