Innovation and creativity were on full display this week in DT as our Year 10 students completed their Discovery and Innovation Super Curriculum project. Working in teams, students were challenged to design, build and test their own wind turbines, with the aim of generating as much energy as possible. Throughout the project, they developed a range of valuable skills, including engineering, teamwork, communication and problem-solving, while gaining a deeper understanding of the importance of renewable energy and sustainable technologies. The project provided an excellent opportunity for students to apply their knowledge in a practical setting, testing ideas, overcoming challenges and refining their designs through collaboration and innovation. We are incredibly proud of the resilience, creativity and enthusiasm shown by all students. The standard of work produced was outstanding and serves as a fantastic example of the exciting learning opportunities available within the DT department. Well done to everyone involved! #TeamDT #SuperCurriculum #RenewableEnergy #EngineeringSkills

Future Chef 2027 - School Heat Competition A huge well done to all of our students who entered the Future Chef 2027 competition. On Tuesday after school, our four school heat finalists worked incredibly hard to produce their dishes under timed competition conditions. Each student demonstrated outstanding resilience, dedication and determination while cooking under pressure. As part of the challenge, students were required to prepare a meal for two people within a budget of £5, produce a detailed method sheet and complete a costing sheet. Our Team DT judging panel assessed each entry using the official Springboard FutureChef criteria, including skills and techniques, composition, taste and flavour, and presentation. The standard was exceptionally high, and all four finalists should be extremely proud of their achievements. A special congratulations goes to Gideon and Sam, who were selected as the winners of our school heat. They will now go on to represent the school at the local heat, competing against talented young chefs from across County Durham and Teesside. We wish them the very best of luck in the next stage and look forward to following their FutureChef journey. Well done to everyone involved! #FutureChef2027 #TeamDT #ProudToBeSedgefield #FutureTalent #SpringboardFutureChef
