S2 Craft

In S2 the department builds upon the craft work done in S1, the pupils work through two design and build projects, one in wood and the other in metal.

​The big step that the pupils make in S2 is in terms of taking a design from brief through to manufacture. The pupils have to design a set of shelves using a particular amount of wood, working through the design process from Research and Analysis through to Evaluation. They also do this for a candleholder in metal, again using a particular amount of metal.

​These shelves and candleholders are basic projects that give opportunities for the pupils to expand their craft skills and also to go through the entire design process, working from a brief with significant constraints.

Woodworking

First of all the pupils are given a Design breif then they work through the stages of the design cycle to develop a design that they have come up with this develops their ownership for their work.

The design work is done in a folio that shows the development of the project from the breif through initial ideas to design development and final design. When they have a final design they then manufacture their shelves before evaluating the final solution and how they worked up to it.
