Important Design & Technology Info for Parents Important Design & Technology Info for Parents <div><br></div><div>Dear Parents/Guardians,</div><div> </div><div>Many of you will be unaware that the Design & Technology Department has not had running hot water for the last three weeks due to the boiler breaking down.  Obviously, this has impacted the food department heavily, and staff have worked tirelessly to try to ensure that as many practical lessons go ahead as possible.  Sadly, we have just been informed that we are unlikely to have hot water for a further two weeks, minimum.</div><div> </div><div>As such, we are going to be reducing the number of practical lessons that students will be carrying out over the next few weeks.  We will be prioritising Year 11 and A Level essential practical lessons, and cancelling planned lessons from years 7-10.  The exception to this is for recipes that students have already done the preparation for in a previous lesson (such as making pastry ready for cutting the following lesson). </div><div> </div><div>Many thanks for your cooperation at this time.  Any enquiries can be directed to Mrs Lewis at clewis@gillingham-dorset.co.uk </div><div> </div><div>C Custard & N Hann</div><div>Heads of Design</div><div><br></div>05/10/2018 14:31:30News Posthttps://www.gillingham-dorset.co.uk/Lists/News/DispForm.aspx?ID=45
