Design Technology.

Technology is concerned with making things work, with altering or making improvements and with controlling things.  We recognise that the capability of pupils to investigate, design, make and appraise is as important as the acquisition of knowledge.

In offering Design Technology in the curriculum, we hope to provide a means by which pupils understand the significance of design and technology to the economy and to the quality of life.  It is also a means by which pupils develop the ability to intervene purposefully to bring about change.

We hope to develop in children the ability to speculate on possibilities for modified or new artefacts, systems and environments, to model what is required in the mind symbolically, geographically and in three-dimensional forms, and to have the ability to plan and resource these activities. 

We hope to enable children to develop aesthetic awareness by producing outcomes of good quality which have been well appraised at each stage of their development.!
