Design & Technology

Design and Technology Intent

At Upton Snodsbury we intend to teach Design and Technology as an inspiring and practical subject. We intend children to use creativity and imagination to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts. Where possible we will try to link our designs to our topics. However, if specific skills need to be taught then stand-alone lessons will be used. As well as designing, making and evaluating products, pupils will also be taught cooking and nutrition. We believe that instilling a love of cooking in pupils will enable them to creatively become independent, gaining steps and preparing them to look after themselves. We believe that it is important that pupils learn the importance of a balanced diet and food hygiene.
