Design Technology

Intent

The intent of our Design Technology curriculum is to

  • Give children a wide range of opportunities to develop creative, technical and practical understanding and skills.
  • Give children the opportunity to apply their knowledge, skills and understanding through real life experiences that relate to the wider curriculum and their local area.
  • Ensure children have opportunities to explore, foster an open mind-set and consider different points of view, needs and tastes.
  • Develop children’s understanding of the intent of a design, the quality of the final product and environmental impact.
  • Develop children’s understanding of sustainable design.

 

How Design Technology links with our school values:

At St Vincent’s we aspire to make the learning ambitious for all learners. Our school curriculum includes the knowledge, skills and life experiences children need to thrive. Our learning is carefully planned and sequenced using the National Curriculum that can be found below:
