DT – Design and Technology

Design and Technology is an inspiring, problem solving, practical subject.

DT encourages children to learn to think creatively and imaginatively; to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. Pupils need to be able to test, refine, develop and improve the products. DT has sufficient depth and breadth to enable pupils to make products that move / light up, are structurally sound and are safe and healthy.

Where possible, we will make links to other subjects such as mathematics, science, computing, art and our Christian values. The children are also given opportunities to reflect upon and evaluate past and present design technology, its uses and its effectiveness and are encouraged to become innovators and risk-takers.
