Our Design and Technology curriculum includes a broad range of practical experiences with the aim of inspiring children to create innovative designs which solve real and relevant problems within a variety of different contexts. The design process is fundamental and runs throughout the units. This process encourages children to identify real and relevant problems, critically evaluate existing products and then take risks and innovate when designing and creating solutions to the problems. Time is built in to reflect, evaluate and improve on prototypes using design criteria throughout to support this process. Children are provided with opportunities to explore key events and individuals who have helped shape the world, showing the real impact of design and technology on the wider environment and helping to inspire children to become the next generation of innovators.
