A Level DT Trip

On Friday 15th November, Year 12 and 13 A Level Design and Technology students went on a visit to Moss & Co Timber Merchants.

On arrival, students had the opportunity to explore the showroom, giving them a chance to see and handle a wide range of timbers, many of which they have been learning about in their lessons. They were then given a very informative tour of the timber yard and workshop, where students were able to learn about the similarities and differences between commercial woodworking machinery and processes and those we use in school. Health and safety procedures were also clearly explained and students were able to compare this with what they have learned at school.

Many thanks to Mr Polessi Patel for inviting us and taking the time to show us around and explain every aspect of the business.
