What is D&T? Options pack

Resources to help promote Design and Technology in your school, to pupils and parents

What is D&T? Options pack

This package of leaflets and posters is intended to support school D&T departments to help inform students, parents and others in the school and help make clear the value of studying D&T.

In many schools, performance measures are squeezing the amount of choice pupils have with KS4 subjects. It’s also the case that D&T is often misunderstood, seen as ‘craft’ and not the sophisticated and comprehensive subject it is. To address this and support teachers and departments when promoting GCSE D&T as an option, we have made available the following resources.

Our FREE Options Evening Pack includes:

PowerPoint:

PDF Posters:

This package of resources can be used flexibly to promote the varied and career pathways that studying D&T GCSE can lead to. The leaflets and posters should be clearly displayed in the D&T department and in prominent communal spaces.
