Throughout the Junior School, our girls are given the opportunity to practise and develop their natural capabilities, create and achieve solutions to problems, in addition to acquiring a range of skills and gaining enjoyment from working safely with a wide range of tools, materials and components.
At each Key Stage the children will experience and acquire skills in food technology and textiles, build structures from a range of materials as well as creating mechanisms and controls.
