The pupils are encouraged to explore as many mediums as possible at Hall Grove.

Projects typically follow a design process where children start with a brief before developing initial ideas to achieve a final concept design, product or model. They utilise sheet acrylic, wood, card and string,  chicken wire and modroc, and a variety of textiles to assist them in solving their design problems. They learn basic techniques for accurate measuring, marking out, cutting and joining, with many of the above resources.

Technical Drawing is also taught focusing on the use of Third Angle Orthographic Projection and Isometric Drawing to enable the pupils to be accurate in their model making. These are essential skills used by Architects and also in Product Design.
