“Design and Technology is about making things that people want and that work well. Creating these things is hugely exciting: it is an inventive, fun activity”. James Dyson, Chairman, Dyson Ltd.
Intent
At Ninfield Primary School we intend to build a Design Technology curriculum which is inspiring, rigorous, and practical. We want our children to use creativity and imagination, to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. We intend for all children to acquire appropriate subject knowledge, skills and understanding as set out in the National Curriculum. It is our aim to create strong cross curricular links with other subjects, such as Mathematics, Science, Computing, and Art. We want Design and Technology to prepare our children, to give them the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences they need to be successful in later life.
Please see our curriculum overview for what the children will be learning during each key stage:
