For Art Design and Technology

Your child will be set a weekly task on the day that they would normally have a lesson in one of the subjects within the ADT department. The task will be one that compliments the learning that is taking place in the lesson and therefore will be relevant to your child’s long term learning journey. The aim of our home learning is to ensure that when your child returns to school they can return to practical tasks with the support of tasks that bridge the gap between theory and practical work.
