This Year we have had an Arkwright Scholar in the L6 studying AS Product Design. Tom Walker was awarded the Scholarship after sitting an examination and then attending a day of interviews and team tasks. We are awaiting the possibility of another award for Ben White in Y11, as the Arkwright Foundation is looking for a company to sponsor him.

Several L6 Students took part in the Engineering Education Scheme and were linked with a local company URENCO. The scheme provides students with an in-depth experience in science, engineering and technology that will enable them to make an informed decision about their future studies and career. They designed a means of attaching a vessel, which would normally contain radioactive material, to a cleaning unit.

Groups of students have been able to visit manufacturing sites this year as Mr. Parry and Mr. Higginbottom have taken them to D.M.M., a Karabiner factory in North Wales and to a local Precision Engineering Company G-Tech in Hoylake. Also planned is a return trip to H&O Plastics where extrusion and injection moulding of a range of products may be observed.

Design & Technology is taught throughout the school and at this time of year the results of the efforts of the pupils and students are most obviously seen in their Coursework Projects. This year there have been many high quality products produced, some of which are shown below.
