Design and Technology

Our design and technology curriculum has been designed to be inspiring, rigorous and practical. Using creativity and imagination, pupils design and make products and become autonomous and creative problem-solvers, both as individuals and as part of a team. They acquire a broad range of subject knowledge which enables them to identify needs and opportunities and to respond by developing ideas and making products and systems. 

The pupils also draw on other disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering and computing and have the opportunity to take risks and become resourceful, innovative, enterprising, capable citizens. 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. We believe that design and technology prepares pupils to take part in the development of tomorrow’s rapidly changing world
