Design and Technology 

Intent

Design and Technology at West Wycombe School allows children to develop creativity, problem-solving skills, and practical knowledge through hands-on projects. Pupils explore designing, making, and evaluating products using various materials and techniques. The curriculum encourages innovation, teamwork, and resilience, helping children apply their learning to real-world challenges while fostering a love for design and engineering.

Our Design and Technology curriculum is designed to inspire pupils to think creatively and innovatively while developing an appreciation for the product design process, from initial ideas to creation and evaluation. We encourage pupils to take risks, experiment with design concepts, and refine their ideas through modelling and testing. By fostering reflective learning, we support children in evaluating both their work and that of others. Through this approach, we aim to enhance their understanding of the role of design and technology in everyday life and equip them with the skills to become resourceful, enterprising individuals who can contribute to future advancements in the field.
