Design Technology

"Design is intelligence made visible" - Alina Wheeler, Author

Our Design and Technology department at Ellesmere Park High School offers every student the opportunity to develop a wide range of life skills through a challenging and diverse curriculum.  The skills and knowledge taught at our school empower and inspire our students to make a positive impact on our world through careers in design and technology. The subject is creative; the workshop has become a hive of activity and curiosity in the world of STEM. Our new Head of Department has grown the subject significantly in a short space of time through his dedication, expertise and commitment to developing the next generation of design experts and problem solvers.

Our aim is to inspire and develop students’ curiosity and appreciation of design, food and nutrition; to help students to be self-motivated, creative problem solvers and work as effective members of a team. We provide a safe and positive environment in the workshops and food technology rooms for students to ‘take creative risks’ and develop their skills and understanding of design and nutrition.
