    • My name is Mrs Hewlett and I am excited to be leading your learning journey in Fashion and Design this year. We will also have Mr Jackson working with us this year in Fashion & Design and he will be able to help us when we want to use different materials in our projects.

      We have our Learning Intentions on MHO but all our activities will be on Google Classroom. There will be work that needs doing at home so that you can use the lessons at school for making stuff.
