Facilities
These activities are based in the Design and Technology departments well equipped, spacious and well maintained facilities. Our department has seen the radical rebuilding of our Food, Studio and Workshop areas in recent years and we now have an industry standard Catering Kitchen, industrial standard CNC machinery and prototyping equipment and spacious classroom studios. We now have a specific Computer Manufacturing Centre which has the latest CNC machines that allow our pupils to experience the best of computer aided manufacturing currently available. These include a Laser Cutter, CEL Robox 3D printer , two CNC routers, two plotter cutters and vinyl sticker makers and a CNC lathe and mill. Our integrated studios and workshops have the flexibility to be used in many ways to allow as wide a range of designing and making activities as possible. The studios have the capability to use the latest multimedia teaching techniques and allows the pupil's access to Computer Aided Design and ICT through the use of a suite of laptop computers using wireless technology. |
