New Challoner House CAD competition in DT. Lots of interest so far! We can’t wait for the event after half term. #designtechnology #competition #richardchallonerschool

In a world where the news can be quite depressing what a wonderful piece of news! Lovely.

As a Design Technology teacher this interests me....

I loved watching this last night. Find some time this half term to watch. “I still think the great tragedy is the lack of vocational education in schools, actually not everybody is designed for the academic". Lets find the answer in DT! #repairshop #DT bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

I am planning a Y10 assembly on the importance of kindness. Can you help? I would love to share to the students examples of kindness. Please could you send me an image of a act of kindness you have done? Post on here, or please send me a private message. Thanks so much. #kindness

Excellent opportunities in our area. UK power networks. #apprenticeships

House DT CAD competition underway…… some fantastic students with creative ideas! #cad #housecompetition #richardchalloner #designtechnology

Our headteacher speaking to LBC. Mr Maher has always been a great supporter of DT, we are lucky to have him as a headteacher. Our optional numbers for Design Technology at Challoner are fantastic. However this topic is very worrying, especially being an “expensive subject”.

What a fantastic design: The smart glasses that let you ‘see’ conversations in real-time #smartglasses #designtechnology #greatdesign metro.co.uk/2022/11/17/we-…

Mr Norton called me into his class today saying “Please come and see my Y8 classes CAD re-design work, some of the pieces are outstanding”. I’m sure you will agree it really was! Well done 8N-DT1 #designtechnology #CAD #richardchalloner

Not to be outdone, some of 8N-DT3’s design project. Iteratively developing a biomimicry car design through sketch and modelling. Very creative work and a very impressed teacher. #designtechnology #design #development

Mr Stansbridge’s 8N - DT2 were finishing their brazed candle holders by undertaking some dip coating in their manufacture unit. Students were also reflecting on the accuracy of their manufacture. #designtechnology #manufacture #dipcoating

I’ll just leave this here! VERY proud of our school. Outstanding in all areas. Well done Challoner community!

Year 7S Engineering day in full swing here at Challoner. First time post COVID doing this event! Glad to be back. #STEM #engineering #problemsolving #teamwork #dt #designtechnology

Testing students egg carriage designs #testing #designs #engineering #designtechnology #eggchallenge

We had some Y10 helpers from GCSE classes working with y7. Well done, thank you for your ideas. #gcse #designtechnology #engineeringday #ideageneration

Congratulations to the winning team of Engineers and Engineer of the day pictures with their Head of Year and DT teacher Mr Norton. A fantastic day, congratulations to all of 7S that participated. #engineering #designtechnology #design #ideas #creativity

I think we have the best colleagues. At break duty our SLT member gave us homemade biscuits, a fellow tutor randomly gave me chocolate at lunch & Friday afternoon - teaching Y8 (in this weather) a staff member bought people ice lollies to cool down. Kindness makes a difference!

Good luck to all A level students finding out there results today. Whatever the results are, remember you are still awesome! An extra bit of good luck for our DT students #alevel #alevelresults #designandtechnology #DT
