GCSE Construction

"One only needs two things in life: WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape to make them stop." - G.M. Weilacher

Vision Statement

Within construction, pupils will look at ways to keep themselves and others safe when working in a workshop environment. They will learn about regulation, tools, materials, and their properties. This will help pupils to gain a wide understanding of the industry and how it works. Pupils will gain knowledge of how to keep a construction site safe and what is expected from them once they step foot onto a site. Pupils will learn how to be selective when working with materials and understand how to measure and cost up a project.
