Art, Design and Technology at The Duston School is an amazing subject and I don't apologise for sometimes getting very excited about it. It's a real cross-curricular subject and makes a massive impact on students' learning as they need to take information they learn from other areas, especially maths and science, and apply it using logic, analysis, creativity and a big slice of common sense- sometimes they don't understand these concepts properly until they apply them practically. I'm that sort of learner myself, unless I'm actively doing, information can just disappear from my brain! My job at The Duston School gives me the opportunity to have a positive impact on people's lives and make a difference every day. I go home and I know I made a difference. Staff care about each other personally and work together as a team.
