At Safa Community School GCSE Design and Technology will prepare students to participate confidently and successfully in an increasingly technological world. Students will gain awareness and learn from wider influences on Design and Technology including historical, social, cultural, environmental and economic factors. Students will get the opportunity to work creatively when designing and making and apply technical and practical expertise.

With a focus on the design discipline of architecture, students should be seen to complete work that has a strong link to environmental considerations and sustainability within their practice. Students should be demonstrating skills in visual communication, both hand drawing and CAD, along with an understanding and application of diagrams and model making skills.
