Learners will have the confidence to develop their solutions independently, showing resilience when faced with challenges. They will be able to incorporate their knowledge, skill and understanding from Design and Technology and a range of other sources during lessons and outside of school. Design and Technology at Burton Borough School provides pupils with the life skills needed in everyday situations, including how to maintain a healthy, nutritious diet. In Design and Technology we aim to stimulate an interest in possible future careers in STEM.
