DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY
“Technology without design is not quite the right technology. Design is how it works”.
Steve Jobs
WHY IS DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY IMPORTANT?
Our Design and Technology curriculum is crafted to ignite curiosity, nurture creativity and develop problem-solving skills in a meaningful and engaging way. Our intent is to ensure that children understand the relevance of design and technology in the real world by embedding it in purposeful contexts. We aim for pupils to learn how to design and make functional products through imaginative and practical activities, promoting innovation and critical thinking.
Our curriculum helps children understand how the designed and made world functions, while fostering collaboration, resilience and independence. By the end of their primary journey, we want all children to leave with a strong foundation of skills in design, making, evaluating, and technical knowledge that they can build upon in later life.
