Design & Technology

Curriculum Intent

In Design Technology we want to entice creativity through a project-based curriculum. We aim to prepare our students with a logical and technical order to produce a project from start to finish. They will learn to research a brief, investigate, design and create their own project. From this process students will be able to problem solve which will provide them with the necessary skills for technological industries beyond school life. 

They will analyse and adapt their ideas through researching historic and modern-day products and then explore and apply new practical skills to invent a product which is new, innovative and unique to them. Our aim is to entice intrinsic thought processes where both function and aesthetics are considered naturally, ‘making the functional beautiful’.
