Design and Technology

Design and technology (DT) at Titchfield Primary school aims to be an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. Children design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. Through the evaluation of past and present design and technology, they develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world. High-quality DT education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation.

The national curriculum for design and technology aims to ensure that all pupils:

 develop the creative, technical and practical expertise needed to perform everyday tasks confidently and to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world

 build and apply a repertoire of knowledge, understanding and skills in order to design and make high-quality prototypes and products for a wide range of users

 critique, evaluate and test their ideas and products and the work of others

 understand and apply the principles of nutrition and learn how to cook.

Here is just some of the fantastic activities our children take part in for design and technology
