Design Technology

At Streethay we recognise that we are educating children for an uncertain future. Many of the jobs that will be required of our children when they are adults are yet to be defined, and the knowledge and skills they will require is difficult to determine. However, we are certain that the future will require them to be creative, reflective problem solvers.

We aim to inspire pupils to be innovative and creative thinkers who have an appreciation for the product design cycle through ideation, creation, and evaluation. We want pupils to develop the confidence to take risks, through drafting design concepts, modelling, and testing and to be reflective learners who evaluate their work and the work of others. Through our scheme of work, we aim to build an awareness of the impact of design and technology on our lives and encourage pupils to become resourceful, enterprising citizens who will have the skills to contribute to future design advancements. Our Design and technology scheme of work enables pupils to meet the end of key stage attainment targets in the National curriculum and the aims also align with those in the National curriculum.
