KS3During Key Stage 3 students will be using a range of materials, resources and machinery to create different products which they design, create and evaluate. As they progress through Key Stage 3, students will go on to further develop their skills, knowledge and ability to create more advanced products, culminating in the Year 9 |

Year 7At the start of Year 7, students will design and create a key fob, using both plywood and acrylic in their creations. They will then move on to design and create a Car Racer, looking at the different components used and how they work together. Students will be given a brief to work with, where the Car Racers have to be both designed aerodynamically and be visually pleasing as well. At the end of Year 7, students will research Alan Turing and create a Pride Flag celebrating his life and the Pride movement. They will be hand stitching during this project and looking and utilising a range of stitches. |

Year 9In Year 9, students will use their skills and knowledge gained during their time at The Turing School to create their own electronic board game. They will spend time designing and creating their game, the pieces for their game, as well as integrating electronics to their final product. They will also create a bag to store their game and pieces in, complete with logo on the front. |

HomeworkAt the beginning of each unit, students will be taught how to use different tools and machinery safely. They will then create safety posters for the different equipment used to show their understanding of how to use different tools and machinery safely. Students will also spend time investigating new technologies, machinery and resources that could be used in the future, both within the Design and Construction industries. |
