D&T at NHEHS

D&T is a popular subject throughout the school and our GCSE and A-Level results are consistently outstanding.

The D&T Department is currently focussed on Product Design, with an emphasis on timber and polymers. CAD/CAM and additive manufacture are used extensively, and we have high-spec, modern facilities, including two laser cutters and three 3D printers.

Teaching at NHEHS

“Teaching here is all about inspiring designers of the future; being able to have in-depth conversations with students about your subject and helping to enthuse them with the same passion as you have. Teaching at NHEHS is exactly what I imagined teaching would be like when I took to inspiring and developing bright young minds that will challenge you every day; it’s what teaching should be!”
