Real craftsmanship is right here
Last term, pupils from Cumberland School developed their skills and understanding of various materials through their interactive Design and Technology sessions.
Mini Football Tables
Year 7 pupils split into two teams to design and build mini football tables for their classroom. They certainly are a talented bunch.

Mono-Amplifier Speaker Designs
Year 8 pupils enhanced their electronic design skills by soldering together components of a speaker to create cool functioning ones. The artistic group drew on their creative flair and chose a suitable outer material for the casing.

MDF upholstered stools
Staying with the Year 8 pupils, they also created MDF upholstered stools using a combination of hand and electric tools and choose their own unique fabric to complete the look.

Wooden drawers
Year 9 pupils showed off their creative talents too as they created wooden sets of drawers which included two false drawer fronts and a top working drawer with a secret hidden storage area. One pupil turned her secret storage box design into a three-draw jewellery box. How impressive are they?
