KS3 D&T Students Working with Metal

Our KS3 curriculum at Beaumont School has had an overhaul this year to ensure our students will be prepared for the new GCSE specification coming into play very soon!

As students will need to know something about all material areas for the new GCSE, we've introduced a fun metal pendant project into the curriculum where students can learn more about copper properties and how to work with metals. The students are thoroughly enjoying it and they've had amazing outcomes so far: we took advantage of the beautiful Autumn weather this week to have a photo shoot outside!

Check out the fantastic work being produced by our students below!







Be on the look out for more projects from our students and updates on other exciting things happening in the D&T department! Please feel free to leave us any comments, we'd love to hear from you!
