At Watchfield the intention is that children will have hands on, practical experience of designing, making and evaluating products in their Design Technology lessons. Children will use their creativity and imagination to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems, from a range of contexts whilst considering their own and others’ needs, wants, interests and opinions. They will acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and apply learning from other areas such as maths, science and art. Children are encouraged to develop resilience and understand that risk taking is part of the design process, becoming resourceful and innovative learners. They will develop a critical understanding of the impact of Design Technology on daily life and the wider world through the evaluation of past and present designs.
