Design and Technology
The National Curriculum 2014 states that “pupils should be taught to develop their design & technology capability through combining their designing and making skills with knowledge and understanding in order to design and make products”. Our objective is to teach practical skills through the process of designing, making and evaluating. This forms the basis of a problem-solving approach to projects, which include mechanics, hydraulics, electronics, textiles and home economics.
