VISION

Children will design, make and evaluate products to solve relevant and real life problems, considering their own thoughts and the views of others.

Empower children to think like designers, creators and evaluators by giving them the opportunity to:

  • Learn, develop and revisit the practical skills and knowledge to create in an ever changing world of technology.
  • Design and make products for a real, practical purpose and a wide range of users.
  • Test, evaluate, refine and develop their own products and designs. As well as those of others.
  • Learn how to cook safely, apply the principles of nutrition and where food comes from.
  • Celebrate creations with peers, parents and the community.
  • Take risks, be reflective, innovative, enterprising and resilient.
  • Use cross-curricular links and draw upon subject knowledge and skills within Mathematics, Science, History, Computing and Art.
