Last year our A Level Product Design students were asked to design a new gateway to lead from the new housing estate in Warborough to St Laurence Primary School. The group of six based their ideas on the winning designs from the primary school students (you can see one of the many models created during the design process in the photos below) and collaborated with a team to get the end result.

Yesterday Mr Holden and Miss Walker took the Year 13s to see the finished gate and the students were very impressed with the outcome. We were told that there have been many lovely comments about how great it looks.

Local projects within the community are a fantastic way to introduce design students to real life design processes and get them interacting with end users and stakeholders.
