At the end of the Design education curriculum, we hope that students will leave Oaklands enriched in the following manner:
- Students will be able to express their ideas clearly and creatively through a range of drawing, painting, printing, sketching, modelling and experimental techniques.
- Be able to articulate the thinking behind their work and the work of other designers, chefs and artists.
- Apply reasoned arguments to improve of the design work of others.
- Have a greater understanding of environmental issues and the role of an artist, designer/food technologist to combat these.
- Gain a wide experience of practical skills in all areas of design.
- Understand how to make nutritional meals that support healthy lifestyles and minimise environmental impact.
- Know how to make changes to support the environment both as a designer and as a consumer.
- Make informed decisions aware of a series of values and beliefs that help sustain the planet.
- Achieve the highest GCSE grade they are able to in whichever area they choose to specialise in.
- Go on to question, design, inspire and create solutions conceiving, designing, and producing a range products ‘of good quality’.
- Continue to go on investigating, analysing and experimenting (using their aesthetic understanding and critical skills) in the context of art, design and technology and food science.
