At Morton Church of England Primary School, we value design and technology and want all our children by the end of year 6 to be enabled to develop the skills they need for designing and making through a range of creative and practical activities. To be able to develop their ability to investigate, analyse and evaluate a range of products, applying their understanding and technical knowledge across a range of products and materials. We will provide opportunities for children to work in a range of relevant contexts offering valuable life skills. Underpinning all this is a key focus on improving our children’s communication skills, vocabulary, and the ambition so that all children will be designers regardless of background, needs or ability. Children need a hands-on approach that also gives access to other areas of the curriculum such as Mathematics, Science, Engineering, Computing and Art. Skills and techniques developed through Design and Technology are of great importance in our everchanging technological world to ensure that children are equipped for the next stages in their lives.
