Design and Technology (D&T)

The INTENT of our DT curriculum is to Ignite the SPARK by provide plenty of opportunities to apply and strengthen essential skills required in the designing, making and evaluating of an effective product for a given purpose.  

To develop the children’s understanding of technical vocabulary and articulate the skills that they have applied describing the material and features of the product that they have made.

It is our aim in DT that all children:

• Are SUPPORTED in understanding how to use tools and equipment appropriately and carefully
• Show PRIDE in evaluating the effectiveness of their product as well as the skills that they have applied
• ACHIEVE by ensuring that the children are well-equipped with useful technical knowledge to support them in the design and making of their product.
• RESPECT and identify some of the great designers and techniques in history
• Show KINDNESS towards the ideas and efforts of their peers.
