The aim of the Design and Technology course is to enable the pupils to investigate and examine a range of designs and products through images and direct experience.
As pupils progress through the school we hope to develop their awareness of the role and function of Design Technology within our society and the process involved in developing a product from the initial idea to its final realisation.
Through a series of projects pupils are shown how to use a range of tools and equipment in a safe and organised manner. They will understand the importance of working in a methodical and organised way, assessing their work as it progresses.
The projects are designed to enable pupils to experience a range of processes and skills from graphics and simple layout, to cutting and assembling wood to build freestanding structures. The selection and preparation of ingredients in food technology: the use of fabric dyes and inks in Textiles and the use of components in simple electrical circuits.
When pupils reach Year 6 they will have a broad balanced range of skills which they will have related to examples of both contemporary and past designers.
