Design Technology

At Toddington St George's school, we believe that our Design and Technology curriculum enables children to use their creativity and imagination to design and make a product. The skills to do this are taught progressively, to ensure that all children are able to learn and practice in order to develop as they move through school. Design and Technology encourages children to solve problems, both as individuals and as part of a team. The children are given opportunities to evaluate, adapt and improve their product, which is a life-long skill. As a school we aim to link, wherever possible, skills learned in other subjects, such as maths, science and computing, thus ensuring links are made in a cross-curricular way, supporting children’s interests and motivations. Opportunities are also given for children to learn basic cooking skills, which will support them through life.

Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works!

– by Steve Jobs.
