Welcome to the Vocational Department
The Vocational Department consists of six subjects; Business Studies, Computing, Design & Technology, Engineering, and Hospitality & Catering.
Design and Technology, Engineering, and Hospitality & Catering are inspiring, rigorous and practical subjects which prepare all young people to live and work in the designed and made world. These subjects provide opportunities for students to develop their capabilities, combining their designing and making skills with knowledge and understanding in order to create quality products.
With Business Studies, and Computing we endeavour to give students an in-depth understanding of how business and computer technology works. Offering real-world insights into what goes on behind the scenes.
