Design Technology

Our design and technology studies teach the fundamental skills and knowledge in a themed approach, often having links to other subjects. This gives a real context in which the children can understand the purpose of their work and the criteria which will make their end product successful. The aim is for children to understand some of the many real-life applications of design and technology and the key role that these have in the world of work today. The three main areas cover Mechanical and Electrical Systems, Cooking and Nutrition and Materials and Structures. Each year children are challenged to become more independent in the planning and skills they develop as well as becoming more analytical in their product evaluations.
