Facilities

Design Technology is taught weekly in our specialist Art and Design Technology Room. Our curriculum is designed to provide pupils with the opportunity to use their creativity and imagination, to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values.

Facilities

We also have a Food Technology room that pupils use as part of Design Technology units. This allows pupils to learn the skills involved in food storage, handling, preparing, cooking and the safe use of equipment. During their time at Glebe pupils will learn about a range of different cuisines and styles of cooking. This aspect of our curriculum reinforces our whole school healthy living agenda.

At Glebe we run many extra- curricular clubs including a Design and Technology club. During our annual creative arts week pupils are encouraged to utilise their design skills as part of a focus project. We also engage with our local Rotary Club who organise a Technology Tournament.
