A-level Design & Technology students enjoy practical work

Our Year 12 Design & Technology students are enjoying enhancing their practical skills and knowledge by using some of our equipment to test and evaluate the effect of different processes on a range of materials. The photos show: Heat treatment on steel box section; facing off polyamide on a centre lathe; planing softwood to remove excess material; MIG welding steel sections and turning hardwood on the wood turning lathe.
Ian Dawson, Design & Technology Teacher, said: “The use of PPE and an insistence on using correct procedures are very important aspects of our work and you can see our sixth form students demonstrating these characteristics.”
