Our Year 11 Engineering pupils have been rising to the challenge this term, designing and constructing impressive model bridges for their Non-Exam Assessment (coursework)

The process began with pupils using 2D Design software to create their unique bridge designs after following a brief from the exam board. Their bridge designs were then precision-cut from plywood using a laser cutter. No two designs are the same! To wrap up the project, the pupils put their craftsmanship to the ultimate test—conducting strength and stability evaluations and documenting their progress through professional photography.

The popularity of the subject has reached new heights this year. Mr Kirkbride, Senior Teacher and Head of Technology Faculty, said: "I’ve been incredibly impressed with the pupils' dedication. Engineering has been so popular that we have three teaching groups in Year 11, which is almost half the year group! Seeing them all working so hard to produce such high-quality work is fantastic! They really have been giving their absolute BEST."

Well done to all our Year 11 Engineers for their hard work and innovation!
