Learning is sequenced in a way that ensures progression and the development of key knowledge and skills – embedding these within the children’s long term memory. We strive to ensure that our children’s creativity, interests and talents are nurtured so that they will be able to ‘Enjoy, Achieve and Flourish’ during their time with us.

HAMPSTHWAITE PRIMARY SCHOOL - DESIGN TECHNOLOGY INTENT

At Hampsthwaite Primary School Design Technology is a subject that allows children to be creative, show self-expression, develop techniques and create innovative designs. Children have the opportunity to use a variety of materials, develop motor skills and learn new processes to develop products fit for purpose. We encourage children to persevere, believe in their abilities and use time and effort to ensure that they learn from setbacks and still develop new designs as well as supporting others in their creativity. Children are also encouraged to consider and respect other’s needs, wants and values to develop high-quality designs that inspires innovation and ideas for the future. It allows children to appreciate inventions and develop understanding of how things work as well as teaching life skills like cooking. Children acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and draw on disciplines such as mathematics, science, computing and arts to create, take risks and use skills to ensure their designs are fit for purpose.
