Design and Technology
At Emsworth Primary School, we believe that design technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject that makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation. It is our intent to help pupils research, design, evaluate and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. Pupils are encouraged to use essential equipment with consideration and safely.
The implementation of our design and technology curriculum offers pupils opportunities to create original designs for a purpose. Through our design and technology curriculum, pupils are encouraged to make independent decisions, create and evaluate their designs and participate successfully in an increasingly technological world. In addition, they are taught how to apply the principles of nutrition whilst learning how to cook.
The impact of our design and technology curriculum is that it equips our pupils with the necessary skills, knowledge and understanding to enthuse and encourage designers of the future-in our fast-moving world.
