Technology is
an exciting, cross-curricular subject that allows students of a wide and
varying range of skills and abilities, who are prepared to put in the effort,
achieve very good GCSE grades.
- As part of the coursework
you will be required to complete homework set.
- Home works are an
essential part of the course and must be completed
on time to a very good standard.
- Pupils who are absent for
any lesson is advised to find out the homework from their fellow students
and hand it in the next lesson.
- There is no excuse for
Pupils who have more than one homework.
Students will come to
each lesson prepared with
- A4 Ring Binder (Fact file)
- An apron
- A sharp 2H pencil
- A sharp HB pencil
- 300mm rule
- Soft rubber
- A pencil sharpener
- A compass
- Basic colouring pencils
It would be helpful if parents check homeworks
before they are handed in
