Mr Barnes
Head of Design and Technology
I am proud to have been the Head of Design and Technology at KES for over ten years, I have had supportive leadership with excellent staff and resources. With this support new vocational and applied learning subjects have evolved which utilise my background in Civil Engineering and Craft Skills. Among many examples of subject development across all year groups two are worthy of a special note; the Levels 1 and 2 in Construction, Product Design and Food. KES has a long standing record as an award winning school and Design and Technology is no exception. We have entered various STEM competitions and received Design Innovation Awards. My time at KES has required complete dedication and at times endless energy but this has provided student success with greater possibilities for future development. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with my team, the staff body and most importantly the students at KES. I am confident that this will continue due to the strong and stable working relationships and under the direction of the school’s governing body.
