Design Technology at St. George's
We seek to inspire the creativity and imagination of our pupils, and teach them to design and build a broad range of crafts and products that have a real world function. Pupils will use their skills in mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art to evaluate past and present design and technology, learn how to take design risks and work together to achieve goals. Above all, pupils and St. George's are encouraged and taught to become innovative and creative individuals with an ability to solve the design and technology problems.
