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!

Year 8 Resistant Materials: Creative Storage

This year in year 8, students have been in the D&T workshop designing and manufacturing creative storage products! All products were built around a box frame and then extended to suit their needs and personal designs!

French students visit the Textiles department

15 French students visited the Textiles students at Beaumont from a vocational school in South Eastern France. It was a wonderful morning sharing with our Year 10 and 11 students. The French students toured the school, which they loved.

The students were spending five days in London visiting cultural sights and visiting Wendy Shorter and doing an upholstery workshop with Wendy in Colney Heath. Therefore they spent the morning at Beaumont, learning about school life in an English school.

Thanks go to Mrs Dorothee Fisher and Suzanne Messonier, their teachers - it was a great morning.
