Design and Technology 

Design and technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject.  Lessons encourage children to learn to think and intervene creatively to solve problems both as individuals and as members of a team. Working independently and collaboratively children will, using their creativity and imaginations, design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values.

Through a variety of creative and practical activities children at Blaby Stokes are taught the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to engage in the process of designing and making. Children design, make and evaluate in a range of contexts to develop functional products. The National Curriculum is the  basis for our work in Design and Technology, and we use the Design and Technology Association's "Projects on a Page" as our scheme of work. We link this into our topics and themes where we can. This provides a coherent skills and knowledge progression.
