(17 May 2014, 9:55 pm)Tom wrote Out of interest, how does the Design and Technology department work in various schools? I know it's different in several schools, but we have one lesson of: Food, Graphics and Materials each week. I know in a friends school they do a double lesson of each subject for ten weeks, then move onto the next.

Art is totally different to technology in my school, and is linked to Creative Arts and music. I don't get Drama/Performing Arts thankfully.

In my school we have Art and Design teachers teach both subjects but under the Technology department, and we get 1 Art and 2 Design per week. The topics are often related, like we create a piece of Music in Music for our artwork, then a scene to go with it in Drama.

Just to make things easier, I'll give you all my
