Design and Technology Intent

At St Teresa's, it is our intention for all children:

• to gain the appropriate subject knowledge, skills and understanding as set out in the National Curriculum

• to learn how to safely use tools

• to learn to think creatively to solve problems individually and as members of a team

• to develop and use creativity and imagination

• to develop a positive mindset and demonstrate resilience when exploring and reviewing their own skills

• to design and make products for a defined purpose

• to have opportunities to reflect upon and evaluate past and present design technology

• to learn about and be inspired by engineers, designers, chefs and architects

• to create a range of structures, mechanisms, textiles, electrical systems and food products with a real life purpose
