At Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, we believe that the teaching of design and technology helps pupils to use their creativity to design and create products that solve real-world and imaginative problems, taking risks throughout. Design and technology infuses a range of practical skills, such as engineering and art, to contribute ideas to wider society and culture.
This enables us to live within, love and learn about the feats of engineering and creativity in ours, and other, cultures
Design and Technology is a sacred subject:
Design and Technology enables pupils to know the universal story they are a part of:
Below are some examples of how our teaching of Design and Technology contributes to our whole school pupil characteristics:
Pupil Characteristic | Key Word | Design and Technology contributes to this by providing opportunities to…… |
