‘Britain’s great strength is it’s innovative design and engineering natural ability…’ James Dyson
They must look for needs, wants and opportunities and respond to them by developing a range of ideas and making products and systems. They combine practical skills with an understanding of aesthetics, social and environmental issues, function and industrial practices. As they do so, they reflect on and evaluate present and past design and technology, its uses and effects. Through design and technology, all pupils can become discriminating and informed users of products, and become innovators. Our DT curriculum has been reviewed in light of the new national curriculum and you can find more details of the curriculum on each class webpage. |
