Design technology is a practical, creative subject which allows children to learn about the designed and made world and how things work, and learning to design and make functional products for particular purposes and users. We want our children to a acquire and apply knowledge and understanding of materials and components, mechanisms and control systems, structures, existing products, quality and health and safety. The children are encouraged to use their creativity and imagination, to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts and considering their own and others needs and wants.
Our Design and Technology curriculum ensures that children develop detailed knowledge and skills across the curriculum.
Our pupils will:
- Build and apply a repertoire of knowledge, understanding and skills in order to design and make high-quality products for a wide range of users
- Critique, evaluate and test their ideas and products and the work of others
- Understand and apply the principles of nutrition and learn how to cook
- Produce creative work, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences
