D & T Routes

This text is designed for students of National Curriculum GCSE in Design and Technology, linking closely with GNVQ Manufacturing (intermediate). It covers core topics for Key Stage 4. It is designed to help students take increased responsibility for their own learning and includes: guidance on study skills, including preparation for assessment, managing project work, and looking ahead to choices post-16; product analysis and evaluation activities and a range of relevant case studies; support for developing more advanced designing and making skills; and information on manufacturing processes and the differences between making individual items and manufacturing in quantity.
