Statement of Intent
In Design Technology, children are encouraged to explore and experiment with a wide range of design tasks. Through an exciting and engaging curriculum, we teach children to become proficient in the four strands of the design process – design, make, evaluate, technical knowledge, and cooking and nutrition. We aim to inspire all of our children to be innovative, creative thinkers and problem solvers, as well as build confidence and resilience to take risks. We want children to gain an awareness of the bigger picture about the role Design Technology plays in the wider world, and in our lives. By delivering a very thorough and current Design Technology curriculum, we encourage pupils to become resourceful, enterprising individuals, who have interest and ambition to be future designers.
Our Design and Technology Lead is Mrs Hoyle.
