Student Comments Keelan Harper - I decided to choose technology and design when I was in year 12 as I found the subject genuinely interesting and I believed that at a higher level of learning it would be just as good. Another reason I chose technology as it is included in the career path I was most interested in. Rachel Hardy - "I chose A-Level technology because I achieved really well in GCSE and really enjoyed the experience of my fourth- and fifth-year class! I love the subject. Emma McArdle - I choose a level technology as I thoroughly enjoyed GCSE technology and design, with Mr Morgan teaching lessons are fun yet informative. The course allows you to express your own ideas and create a product that you might like. Daniel McAlinden - I chose Technology and Design as one of my AS subjects because I really enjoy the practical side to the subject alongside the theory. I feel that the subject is explained in detail very well by the teacher and that everything learned in class can be accessed very easily at home as well.
