Design and Technology
| Real and relevant problem solving - Pupils will develop their knowledge and understanding of products in meaningful contexts |
| Critique, evaluate and test - There will be a focus on evaluating their own and others’ products. Pupils will be encouraged to take risks, evaluate and modify their ideas |
| Impact - Pupils will recognise and appreciate the impact of design and technology in our daily lives and the wider world |
Children develop their knowledge and understanding of Design Technology and experience real-life, hands-on learning. They understand that perseverance is required to make a successful product, which can always be improved, echoing our REACH values. Children will know how DT relates to real-life and what their part in that could be, preparing them well for tomorrow’s world. Each unit of work allows children to follow the design process from beginning to end product, allowing them to appreciate the impact of Design Technology in our daily lives and the wider world.
