~Intent~
In Design and Technology (DT), our aim is to develop creative, innovative young thinkers who can apply their knowledge to real life problems. Pupils will design, make and evaluate products throughout our curriculum. Through a carefully constructed curriculum, we aim to give all pupils, regardless of background, gender, ethnic origin or additional needs, confidence when exploring and drafting ideas. We aim that pupils become reflective learners; able to use a growing range of appropriate vocabulary. We hope to inspire and encourage our pupils to apply their knowledge in the wider world.
