- At Southover, we value technological learning as an integral part of its curriculum, recognising its importance in preparing pupils for the modern world.
- In addition to our ICT curriculum, the schools also emphasise the use of ICT across other subjects, providing pupils with the necessary skills to navigate and utilise digital tools effectively.
- Digital Media and Business Studies are both KS4 options, and they allow pupils to develop their creativity and communication skills for entrepreneurship, leadership, and understanding the business world, through mediums such as video production, graphic design, and multimedia presentations.
- Design and technology is highly regarded at Southover, promoting creativity, problem-solving, and practical skills. Pupils engage in hands-on activities that involve designing, making, and evaluating products, fostering innovation and critical thinking.
- Food technology is recognised as a vital component of the curriculum, teaching pupils about nutrition, healthy eating, and practical cooking skills.
