Design Technology provides opportunities for enquiring and creative young minds to develop their natural initiative and resourcefulness.
This is an area of learning that thrives upon being presented with a flexible and informal teaching style. Investigative, child-led learning, whether in the D.T. centre, or in our extensive grounds and woodland, is key to developing creativity. Our lessons take place in an atmosphere of friendly guidance and co-operation.
We have had many examples of work encompassing the use of natural resources and recycled articles, often straying over subject boundaries into what may be seen as “art” work.
Our pupils are actively encouraged to be resourceful and creative in their choices and use of materials. We believe that the resultant artefacts have an intrinsic value in themselves as the unique product of individuals. However, on a differing level, these end-products simply represent evidence of deeper learning.
