Design Technology Curriculum
The Curriculum
Subject Lead: Mr M Shield
Design and technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. Using creativity and imagination, pupils design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. They acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and draw on disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art. Pupils learn how to take risks, becoming resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. Through the evaluation of past and present design and technology, they develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world. High-quality design and technology education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation.
Our Vision
At Holy Family we aim to offer a rich, awe-inspiring Art and Design curriculum. This is delivered through a range of topics allowing the children to improve and refine skills which are vital to progress in these subjects.
Art and Design promotes inspiring, rigorous and practical exploration. Using creativity and the imagination pupils investigate the different areas of these subjects, whilst refining the skills to produce high quality work of their own. Children will be encouraged to draw on inspiration from experts in these fields in pursuit of developing the ability to join them themselves.
