At Oxenhope CE Primary School we value Design Technology as an important part of the children’s entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum. The children are taught to combine their creative skills with knowledge and understanding to design and make a product. Skills are taught progressively to ensure that all children can learn and practice to develop as they move through the school.
All pupils will have the opportunity to problem solve, to analyse and learn through trial and error to become resourceful, inventive, and capable adults. We want children to be inspired by engineers, designers, chefs, and architects and enable pupils to create a range of structures, mechanisms, textiles, electrical systems, and food products with a real-life purpose.
