Aims and Introduction

Example of a pupil's work

In recent years the traditional approach to Technical Education in schools has been overtaken by the rapidly changing needs of our technological society.  With the decline demand for  traditional crafts and the rapid rate of technological change, there has been a marked growth in demands for new skills, skills transfer and flexibility.  The aim of the department is to interest young people in crafts and in the practical application of technological skills and techniques grounded in realistic design and problem-solving situations.
