At Hope High School, students design and create products that address real-world challenges while considering the needs, values, and preferences of themselves and others. This equips them to contribute meaningfully to today’s technology-driven world. We aim to build a solid foundation of knowledge and skills to design and create high-quality products for diverse users, and encourage critical thinking, evaluation, and testing of their own ideas, products, and the work of others. We want our students to foster the creative, technical, and practical skills needed for everyday tasks and participation in a technological world. Our workshop offers students hands-on experience and the chance to build practical skills and knowledge. By working on design and build projects, they gain confidence, take pride in their work, and become more independent learners. #### [Please click here to access the Curriculum plan for Design Technology](https://www.schoolbus.co.uk/compliancemanager/public/78-dt-curriculum-plan/610b73f5-6e3f-477d-988f-1111df2617ec/122730) ### Curriculum - [About our Curriculum](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/about-our-curriculum) - [Art](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/art) - [Computing](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/computing) - [Design Technology / Construction](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/design-technology) - [English](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/english-and-literature) - [Food Technology](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/food-technology) - [Forest School](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/our-community/forest-school) - [Horticulture](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/horticulture) - [Humanities](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/humanities) - [Maths](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/maths-and-numeracy) - [PE](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/pe) - [PSHE](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/personal-development) - [Religious Education ](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/religious-education) - [Science](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/science) - [The Duke of Edinburgh Award](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/the-duke-of-edinburgh-award) - [Alternative Provision ](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/vocational-programmes) - [Interventions](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/curriculum/interventions) ### [Latest News](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/news) [![Image of Hope High School Recognised Among Lancashire's Top 5% of Pol-Ed Schools](https://files.schudio.com/hope-high-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/Pol-Ed.png)](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/news/2026-07-15-hope-high-school-recognised-among-lancashire-s-top-5-of-pol-ed-schools) #### [Hope High School Recognised Among Lancashire's Top 5% of Pol-Ed Schools](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/news/2026-07-15-hope-high-school-recognised-among-lancashire-s-top-5-of-pol-ed-schools) 15 July 2026 [![Image of Lancashire County Council - Break Time Service](https://files.schudio.com/hope-high-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/Break_Time_APRIL_2026.jpg)](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/news/2026-04-02-lancashire-county-council-break-time-service) #### [Lancashire County Council - Break Time Service](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/news/2026-04-02-lancashire-county-council-break-time-service) 2 April 2026 [![Image of Skelmersdale Youth Zone for Violence Against Women and Girls 'Get the Message Campaign' ](https://files.schudio.com/hope-high-school/imagecache/150x150c/news/VAWG_Event_pic.jpeg)](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/news/2026-03-27-skelmersdale-youth-zone-for-violence-against-women-and-girls-get-the-message-campaign) #### [Skelmersdale Youth Zone for Violence Against Women and Girls 'Get the Message Campaign' ](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/news/2026-03-27-skelmersdale-youth-zone-for-violence-against-women-and-girls-get-the-message-campaign) 27 March 2026 - ![Thrive](https://files.schudio.com/hope-high-school/images/menu/embraced-setting.jpg) - ![DofE](https://files.schudio.com/hope-high-school/images/menu/DofE_logo_gunmetal_full_RGB.jpg) - ![Team Teach](https://files.schudio.com/hope-high-school/images/menu/teamteach.jpg) - ![ASDAN](https://files.schudio.com/hope-high-school/images/menu/asdan_registeredcentre_logo_colour_print-web-700-x-400-page.jpg) - [![Asthma Friendly School Accreditation](https://files.schudio.com/hope-high-school/images/menu/Asthma_Friendly_School.jpg)](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/) ### Contact Us **Hope High School** Carfield Skelmersdale Lancashire WN8 9DP Tel: 01695 721066 - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/HopeHighSkem/?view_public_for=107108070944363) © Copyright 2017–2026 Hope High School– [View Privacy Notice](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/privacy-notice) School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://hopehighschool.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
