Design and Technology at St. John’s Primary School should be an engaging, practical and purposeful subject which gives children first-hand experience of the key skills and processes needed in the production of everyday products.

The children will have the opportunity to:

• Experience a range of products from different fields of design (textiles, construction, food)
• Develop their understanding of the design process from research and conception to final products.
• Explore and learn a range of key skills which can be easily transferred to their everyday life.
• Be creative and imaginative in their designs.
• Persevere to learn and apply new skills with confidence.
• Become ‘problem solvers’ through their making activities.
• Work collaboratively, respecting and understanding the opinions of others.
