Hillside Primary School
Design Technology
Design and technology is a practical and valuable subject. It enables children and young people to actively contribute to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of themselves, their community and their nation. It teaches how to take risks and so become more resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable.
Our design and technology curriculum is designed to enable our pupils to think creatively and imaginatively and design and create items that solve problems in the real world. Design and Technology enables children to draw on their maths, science, engineering, computing and art skills. Risk-taking is an integral to DT and once learnt, children become resourceful, innovative and enterprising. Through evaluation of real past and present Design and Technology, pupils become critical thinkers and see the purpose of design for the real world.
we believe this world needs adults with these skills and traits. Without a creative, imaginative education, we would not produce creative, innovative adults to become ground-breaking engineers, architects, technicians, inventors and designers.
