Vision for Design and Technology (Intent)
Design and Technology prepares children to deal with tomorrows rapidly changing world. It encourages children to become independent, creative problem solvers as individuals and part of a team. It enables pupils to identify needs and opportunities, as well as to respond to them by developing a range of ideas, making products and systems. Using creativity and imagination, pupils design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. They acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and draw on disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art. Pupils learn how to take risks and innovate. Through the evaluation of past and present design and technology they develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life in the wider world. Pupils design and technology capability will be enhanced through combining their designing and making skills with knowledge and understanding.
At ECSTG our Design and Technology curriculum allows pupils to investigate a need or respond to an opportunity to make or modify a product. As pupils progress, they develop knowledge, understanding and capability in the various skills and processes used when investigating, designing, making and evaluating. Pupils will reflect on success and areas to develop that will impact future challenges. Our aim is provide vital knowledge and skills which will enable pupils to make an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well- being of the nation.
