To create independent problem solvers who can display a variety of practical and creative skills that enable them to express their understanding of design, manufacture and the wider contexts associated with our subject.
To give individuals an understanding of the social, cultural and moral constraints involved in design and manufacture. To also have an awareness of how our actions affect cultures and the environment we live in.
Design and Technology fosters creative thinking, equips students with essential skills, and empowers them to tackle challenges through practical problem-solving. As they engage with the subject, students not only learn to make informed choices benefiting themselves and others, but also gain insight into the global impact of their creations, thereby contributing ethically to a better world. Our goal is to nurture students’ creative and academic growth in Design and Technology by cultivating an environment where they feel empowered to take risks, learn from mistakes, and where their achievements are celebrated. We aim to inspire motivated learners who find joy in their lessons and recognize the transformative potential of their engagement with the subject in shaping a more ethical and impactful world.
