Production Skills
At Brunel College we believe that all young people are entitled to a well-rounded and balanced curriculum and that the study of Production Skills including, for example, Art and Design Technology enables Students to develop their creative thinking, problem-solving and making skills.
Using Production Skills to encourage self-expression gives students the opportunity to develop a sense of individual identity and build confidence and self-esteem which is critical in this rapidly evolving society.
"I found I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for."

KS3 Curriculum
The KS3 curriculum has been designed to primarily build confidence and well-being whilst providing an all-round grounding in the subject through a series of skills focused activities.
Students will gain experience in working with a range of materials, mediums, and processes, exploring 2D, 3D, printing and textiles.
Production Skills provides an introduction to the use of hand tools and processes, through problem solving and design, with practical skills at the core. Students will learn useful skills from wiring a plug to basic carpentry, DIY and paint and print techniques amongst others.
KS4 Curriculum
In KS4 students select from an extensive menu of Production Skills units which include wiring a three pin plug, designing a school allotment and Art techniques.
