Design Technology

‘Good buildings come from good people, and all
problems are solved by good design.’
Stephen Gardiner

Our vision for Design and Technology (DT) at St. Mary’s is that pupils are inspired to use their curiosity, creativity and imagination to solve real problems in a variety of contexts. Pupils take inspiration from past and present invention, appreciating the value of DT in day-to-day life.  They are encouraged to have the courage to take risks and they understand that part of DT is overcoming challenges. Pupils understand how DT encompasses many other subjects, such as science and art, whilst also possessing discrete skills in its own right. Through DT, pupils develop their: creativity, curiousity and courage.
