Welcome to the VOCATIONAL Department

The Vocational Department consists of four subjects; Design & Technology, Engineering, Hospitality & Catering and Health & Social Care.

Design & Technology, Engineering, and Hospitality & Catering are inspiring, rigorous and practical subjects which prepare all young people to live and work in the designed and made world. These subjects provide opportunities for students to develop their capabilities, combining their designing and making skills with knowledge and understanding in order to create quality products.

With Health & Social Care we endeavour to develop our students’ knowledge and understanding of what is required for working in a range of different health and social care sectors; offering real-world insights into what goes on behind the scenes. Students also learn about human growth and development across all age ranges and the factors affecting these.
