Design & Technology

In Year 7 at Longhill High School, technology is designed to be fun, engaging and to teach you key skills. You will work in 4 main areas throughout the year; Textiles, Graphic Design, Food & Nutrition and Product Design.


Textiles: Develop your sewing and designing skills by making a phone case and emoji cushion!


Graphic Design: Through a range of projects we will develop your hand drawing and digital design skills, from 3D drawing to making animations and cartoon characters. Graphics teaches you a broad range of traditional and modern creative techniques.


Product Design: The focus in this area is on making things in the workshop; you will make products in wood, metal and plastic. These include silver-soldering your own candlestick holder using a blow torch and designing and making your own fluorescent key-ring.


Food and Nutrition: Here at Longhill High School, we think it is very important for students to learn the key skills of cooking and understanding healthy eating. In year 7 you will make a range of healthy dishes (and a couple of treats) in class from Veggie Chilli, Seasonal Soup, Fajitas , Wings and Wedges to Chocolate Brownies
