ISI Inspection Report 2010 The formal curriculum is highly appropriate for the pupils. It contributes fully to their linguistic, mathematical, scientific and technological development while ensuring that their human and social development is integral to all that is undertaken. Attention to creative and aesthetic aspects of pupils experience is carefully fostered....as national finalists in an electric car challenge, the breadth of achievement is outstanding. A collaborative project has seen art and DT pupils design and produce an excellent computer security guard hub, based on a reinterpretation of the Nativity. This is to be installed in Winchester Cathedral from the end of November to be enjoyed by the whole community throughout the festive period.
Facilities traditional woodwork and metalwork machinery The design and technology department enjoys excellent facilities which are supportive of the range of activities undertaken. ISI Inspection Report 2010 laser cutter computer controlled machinery

Cambridge University Winchester College Design Technology Suitable subjects for your third A-level include Chemistry, Computing, Electronics, Design & Technology and Further Maths. The recent experience of Colleges is that some Design & Technology A-level courses are excellent and provide engineering students with a very worthwhile introduction to the subject. Cambridge University Engineering Admissions Guide
Winchester College Design Technology The normal entry requirements for all our courses are at least three suitable subjects at A level. We require A* in maths, A in physics and one other A grade subject. We prefer further maths or design as the third A level. Imperial College Engineering Department
Winchester College Design Technology Learning Design Technology at Winchester College gives boys the opportunity to develop practical, spatial and intuitive intelligence. Boys learn to solve challenging problems through creativity and the realisation of innovative ideas. Boys strengthen their understanding of science and maths, and develop the technology-based skills to thrive in a world faced with social, environmental and economic challenges.
