Design Technology

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Design is knowing which ones to keep." - Scott Adams.

In Design and Technology at Kingsway Primary school, children are inspired to be creative and imaginative. 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. The children are taught to select and use appropriate tools safely and effectively to make a product. In all areas of Design and Technology the children are encouraged to consider the effectiveness of their designs and requirements of the product against the project title. 

We do the following in order to deliver our curriculum in Design Technology: 

• Develop imaginative thinking in children to enable them to talk about what they like and dislike when designing and making;

• Enable children to talk about how things work, and to draw and model their ideas;

• Encourage children to select appropriate tools and techniques for making a product, whilst following safe procedures;

• Explore attitudes towards the modern world and how we live and work within it;

• Develop an understanding of technological processes, products, and their manufacture, and contribution to our society;

• Foster enjoyment, satisfaction and purpose in designing and making.
