Why do we learn design technology?
Our creative curriculum is centered on preparing pupils to express their thoughts and feelings about the world around us. Pupils will become knowledge rich, learning how to respond to historical, cultural, and social influences through a range of materials, processes, and techniques. They will be able to analyse, problem solve and evaluate concepts generated from the work of others to communicate and express their own visual contributions.
