Design and Technology

God wants me to be the best me I can be in ... Design and Technology

The exciting things I will learn in Design and Technology at St Joseph's are: 

At St Joseph's we follow the National Curriculum for Design and Technology. In Design and Technology we learn about food technology, mechanisms, textiles, electrical systems, computing to program, monitor and control products and structures.

The exciting things that take place in Design and Technology are:
  • Learning how to work with a range of materials and tools to create a specific product.
  • Displaying our work in classrooms and in the corridors to create a sense of achievement and purpose.
  • Working in a range of relevant contexts for example the school, home, playground and wider environment.
  • Learning how to take risks.
Why do I need to know this?

By teaching Design and Technology we aim to help pupils:

  • Use a wide range of tools safely and effectively.
  • To engage in an iterative process of design.
  • To design, make, evaluate and develop technical knowledge.
  • To become resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens.
