Design and Technology is a practical subject and pupils are given a range of different design and make tasks and are expected to develop key practical skills (cutting, sticking, joining, constructing).

 Design and technology  encompasses a wide variety of 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.

We provide children with examples of technology in action, opportunities to analyse why everyday objects have developed in a particular way and the chance to apply their technological skills in a range of design tasks and challenges.

The children are taught how to use tools and materials safely and economically.
