'Good buildings come from good people, and all problems are solved by good design.'
Stephen Gardiner
The underlying principle for high quality design and technology is that pupils are taught how to design and make things for a particular purpose.
Design and Technology in primary schools develops children’s skills and knowledge in design, structures, mechanisms, electrical control and a range of materials, including food. It encourages children's creativity and encourages them to think about important issues.
In delivering quality teaching we look to provide opportunities for students to develop their capability, combining their designing and making skills with knowledge and understanding in order to create quality products.
We use the Projects on a Page scheme, and the children complete one design and technology project each term, one of which will be food technology.
