KS3 Design & Technology Year 8 Programme of Study 2015/16 In year 8 all students complete the modules of study following a rotational system. Therefore not all students will complete all of the modules in the order above due to rooming and staff availability. However, at the end of year 8 all students will have completed all of the modules. NB The above order is given as a guide. See rotation sheets that follow for further details. In year 8 all students continue to study Design and Technology. Assessment is focused towards designing, planning for making and accuracy of making skills.
