Design and Technology encourages our children to think creatively, solve problems and turn their ideas into reality. We believe children learn best when they are given meaningful opportunities to explore, investigate and create, designing products with a clear purpose and intended user.

Beginning with early experiences of construction and materials, children progressively develop the technical knowledge and practical skills needed to design, make and evaluate increasingly complex products. Carefully planned projects build upon previous learning, allowing children to revisit techniques, make informed choices and develop greater independence.

Adapted equipment, visual guidance and carefully structured tasks ensure that all children can participate and experience success. We encourage children to persevere when things do not go to plan and aim high in the quality of their finished products, developing resourceful and resilient designers for the future.
