The course explores the relationship between design, materials, manufacturing processes and market needs, challenging pupils to question assumptions and develop innovative solutions to real-world problems.
Pupils learn how designers and architects identify opportunities, research users and contexts and translate ideas into high-quality prototype proposals. Teaching combines practical workshop experience with structured theory, ensuring pupils develop a detailed understanding of materials, emerging technologies and complex manufacturing methods alongside confident design thinking.
We are saddened to hear the news of the closure of Durham High School.
We understand that this will be a worrying and uncertain time for pupils, their families and staff. If your family has been affected, and you would like to discuss options for your child’s education, our Admissions Team is here to provide advice and support, and to answer any questions you may have.
