Design Technology
Statement of Intent
Our intent is that through the teaching of design technology, our children will learn how to: manage and control risks, work safely with a variety of tools and materials and become resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. By taking part in this practical subject, we hope that our children will use their creativity, imagination and social interaction skills to design and make products to solve relevant problems in a variety of contexts- understanding the processes involved through, planning, making, evaluating and refinement.
Our school bases the core work in design technology around the National Curriculum which aims to ensure that all pupils:
- Develop creative, technical and practical expertise needed to perform everyday tasks confidently and to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world.
- Build and apply a repertoire of knowledge, understanding and skills in order to design and make high- quality products for a whole range of users.
- Critique, evaluate and test their ideas and products, as well as the work of others.
- Understand and apply the principles of nutrition and learn how to cook.
