DT

Design and Technology

Christ the King understands that D&T allows pupils to solve problems, think creatively and develop ideas. D&T offers pupils a chance to use creative thinking and activity within a defined purpose and tangible outcome. The school is committed to nurturing pupils’ curiosity and creativity, as well as preparing them for living in a modern world where technology is rapidly changing and advancing.

In teaching D&T, we aim to help pupils:

·         Develop their design and making skills.

·         Develop their knowledge and understanding of design and technologies.

·         Use a wide range of tools and materials.

·         Learn about working safely and protective measures.

·         Work individually and collaborate with other pupils in a variety of contexts.

·         Develop the capability to create products of a high standard through skills and understanding.

·         Evaluate products, made by themselves, their peer groups and companies.

·         Explore the man-made world and encourage discussion of how we live and work within it.

·         Develop an interest in and understanding of technological processes and the role of manufacturing in society.
