WILL THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS DEVELOPED IN RESISTANT MATERIALS OR GRAPHIC PRODUCTS BE USEFUL FOR FURTHER STUDIES?
Both subjects develop effective communication, teamwork, accuracy, working to deadlines, and the neat presentation of work. Upon completion, students can progress to A-level Design and Technology: Graphic Products.
In the past, students have provided their own materials for the practical tasks. After a consultation process, GMS now operate a group ordering scheme. All candidates contribute £20 in the first year of the course, which enables the school to order the main materials required for the practical tasks throughout the two years.
PROGRESSION
Students achieving good grades in either Resistant Materials or Graphic Products may progress onto the A-level Design and Technology: Graphic Products at Great Marlow School.
