Curriculum Intent
At St Joseph’s we intend to provide high quality design and technology experiences that are inspiring, imaginative and practical. Pupils at our school use creativity and inovation to design, make and evaluate products for different purposes, following design criteria. Design and technology is fully inclusive to every child and allows children to demonstrate their individuality and repertoire of knowledge and skills. Our aims are to: fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum for design and technology, provide a broad and balanced curriculum, ensure the progressive development of knowledge and skills, to learn how to take risks, becoming resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens through evaluation of past and present design and technology, develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world, to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world using the language of design and technology.
