Examination reform, I can’t wait!, Some 25 years on from the moment in history that Richard Kimbell was referring to, I wonder if we are at the brink of another defining moment in the history of the subject. Perhaps lacking quite the same impact and gravitas, nevertheless, with the impending publication of the new Design and Technology GCSE specifications, finally, and after all these years, we may be able to shed the endorsed titles including ‘resistant materials’ and ‘graphic products’ and begin to refer to the subject itself, design and technology. For too long these invented titles, understood only by...

Founder of Hemingway Design, Wayne Hemingway, MBE, Wayne was born in 1961 and grew up in Morecambe, a typical British seaside town. Perhaps not the most appropriate surroundings for one of Britain's most acclaimed designers. After spending most of his childhood in Blackburn, a young and multicultural Hemingway left school with ten O-Levels and four A-Levels. In 1979 he made another inappropriate decision for a future designer and gained a degree in Geography and Town Planning at University College, London. Alongside his wife Gerardine, Wayne built Red or Dead into a globally-celebrated label and, after 21 consecutive...

People do want to get behind our subject, and it is not just a catchy tag line. Design & Technology matters… it really is that simple.” This is an important opportunity to raise the...
