We endeavour to give children the opportunity to apply their Design and Technology skills by linking them to other areas of the curriculum.

Our Design and Technology aims are to:

• Teach children the skills to design and create a product taking into account their own and others’ needs
• Draw upon skills from relevant subjects such as mathematics, science, computing and art to enhance their design
• Equip children with the skills to take risks and become resourceful with their tools
• Give children the opportunities to evaluate designs and critically analyse the impact they have on the wider world

We aim to support children to:

• Use acquired skills to create high-quality prototypes based on a set criteria to critique
• Evaluate and test their own creations and the work of others
• Understand the importance of nutrition and apply this to cooking

Through the evaluation of past and present design and technology, they develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world. High-quality design and technology education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation.
