Design & Technology

‘DT’ incorporates many traditional skills – cooking, model making, drawing and sketching, problem solving, observation and discussion – putting them together in an approach which encourages the children to become designers and inventors. The children are taught how to use tools and materials safely and economically. As children move through the school, they learn about design, how to make something, how to evaluate their design and others and to apply their technical knowledge and understanding. Children are also invited to use the facilities at local secondary schools.
