Design and Technology Intent 

Our intentions in DT are for children to:

• Have a positive approach to designing, making and evaluating authentic products.

• Take responsibility for their own learning and challenge themselves to learn new skills and techniques within the key strands of DT.

• Understand how to work in an inclusive way, forming positive relationships when working collaboratively with a shared goal.

• To be determined when learning new and challenging skills, and finding solutions to design briefs.

• Follow an enquiry, stimulating creativity through a thoughtful design process.

It is our aim that children are given the knowledge, understanding and skills in order that our children become confident designers and can apply this to their projects. Knowledge and skills are taught progressively to ensure that all children make progress in this subject. Evaluation is an integral part of the design process and allows children to adapt and improve their product.

D&T allows children to apply their knowledge and skills learned in other subjects, in particular Maths, Science and Art.
