Intent
At Knowle Park Primary School, Design and Technology is an inspiring, creative and practical subject that enthuses and motivates all learners. Children at our school are not afraid to take risks and enjoy ‘learning through doing’ with a hands-on approach.
We encourage children to be imaginative whilst designing and making purposeful products that solve real and relevant problems. We believe it is vital that all children have the opportunity to use a variety of tools, equipment and techniques that enables them to gain practical skills they can use confidently throughout their life. Local people and places are used to inspire our designs and builds and our sustainable approach to D&T supports children to be mindful when resourcing and disposing of materials.
The way we teach food technology topics gives children the opportunity to learn about a diverse range of cultures and experience food from around the world. Our high-quality lessons are closely linked to other areas of the curriculum such as mathematics and science to provide an enriched learning experience. Evaluation is a fundamental part of the design process and we encourage children to adapt and improve their products, helping them to become innovative and resilient learners who positively learn through making mistakes.
