Purpose of Study
At St Finbar’s we believe that design technology learning embodies some of the highest forms of human creativity. Our design technology curriculum is designed so that children are engaged, inspired and challenged whilst equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of technological design.
Aims
As children progress within St Finbar’s, they are taught the skills needed to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of design technology. Children leave us with an developing understanding as to how design technology can reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
Children at St Finbar’s will develop their understanding of the language of reviewing and evaluating systems/ products with effective teaching and considered sequences of lessons. They will develop their understanding of product design and how it responds to the needs of society and individuals through a curriculum which will enable each child to reach their full potential.
