Design Technology
Design and Technology is a fascinating, rewarding and increasingly important subject in the modern world. The D&T Department at Hampton promotes innovation, resourcefulness and independent learning, encouraging each pupil to reach his full potential through individual design and project work.
The study of Design and Technology hones skills such as manufacturing, lateral thinking, project management and planning; skills that prove invaluable in all walks of life, both in academia and beyond.
Hampton’s Design and Technology pupils produce exceptional work and are regularly recognised in national competitions. In recent years several Hamptonians have won highly prestigious Arkwright Scholarships designed to nurture future leaders in Engineering and Technical Design.
