Design and Technology (DT)
Our Design and Technology Vision
Design and technology is an inspiring and practical subject. Using creativity and imagination, pupils design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, as well as creating something that brings an idea or vision to life. The subject allows children to incorporate other subjects such as maths and science into real contexts.
Pupils learn how to take risks in their work, encouraging them to become resourceful and innovative.
At Holy Trinity Church School, Design and Technology develops children's skills and knowledge in design, structures, mechanisms, electrical control and a range of materials, including food and textiles. It encourages children's creativity and encourages them to think about important issues, develop the creative, technical and practical expertise needed to perform everyday tasks confidently and to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world.
We follow a ‘Research, Design, Make, Evaluate’ approach to the teaching and learning of DT, to encourage deeper thinking into the steps of getting from ‘start to finish’ of a product and understand the process.
