At St Bernadette’s RC Primary School, we aim to provide all children with a broad and balanced curriculum which prepares them for life beyond primary education. We believe that high-quality Design and Technology lessons will engage and inspire children to think innovatively, develop creative procedural understanding and
exercise their creativity and imagination. The children are taught to combine their designing and making skills with knowledge and understanding in order to design and make a product that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs wants and values. During Design and Technology, we teach children the language skills they will need to be effective
communicators. We actively encourage our children to be critical thinkers, forward planners and effective problem solvers. We also teach our children to work on their own, as capable individuals, and as a valued member of a team. Resilience is an important element of our DT, and whole school, curriculum and our children are encouraged to ‘innovate’ and take risks.

Our Design Technology Subject Leader is Mrs Whelehan.
