Subject: Creative Technology – Resistant Materials

Subject Leader: Frances Wakefield Teacher in charge: Karl MacDonald

The Creative Technologies subjects include computing, food technology, resistant materials and textiles. These subjects are taught in pairs (computing & resistant materials and food technology & textiles) with students moving between pairs of subjects in February each year.

Topics that will be taught

How can parents help

The course is designed to enable students to develop a complex product to a challenging brief within an overall context set by their teacher. They use their knowledge and understanding of materials and processes to design, plan and make the products.



The course is aimed at encouraging students to consider Resistant Material in KS4.


  • Regularly look at their books and ask then about the course and the issues about opting for Product Design in KS4.

  • Check their planners for homework and other Resistant Material messages.

  • Encourage students to take an interest in Resistant Material even if they think they might not want to take Resistant Material in KS4

Design Technology is taught in modules, each approximately one quarter of the school year.
These are:-

  • Food Technology

  • Graphics

  • Resistant Materials

  • Textile Products




Student progress in progress will be assessed by key pieces of work being marked from each Scheme of Work. These pieces of work are self/peer and teacher assessed.  Students will be expected to respond to written feedback where appropriate according to the school’s triple impact marking policy (TIM). Verbal teacher and peer feedback is given on a continuous basis.


Ensure students come to DT lessons fully equipped for lessons.
Check student planners for homework as some tasks need to be completed in preparation for their next lesson.
Ask them to show you the Textile topics on the Creative Technology website and learning blogs
Help with learning the spellings of key words for each topic
Encourage students to ask for help with any topics that they do not fully understand
Have coloured pencils for completing design homework.
Ensure students gain access to the internet to complete research tasks.
Encourage a curiosity of how textile sport and leisure products are designed, made and cared for.

The product needs to be unique and should enhance the experience of riding a Brompton bicycle; Students will investigate what is different about the Brompton compared to other bicycles.
Students will ensure that they design and make an accessory that is suitable for a commercial market selecting appropriate materials, components and equipment with a focus on the quality of finish. Patterns will have been used with some precision.

Students will Identify some smart and modern materials and understand how they are used within textiles. Students will understand how to use a number of suitable decorative and constructive techniques using CAD/CAM and E- Textiles to produce products for a consumer market.
