Design and Technology

Through our Design and Technology Curriculum at St Joseph’s, we aim to prepare pupils to participate in tomorrow’s rapidly changing technologies.

We provide opportunities for all children to:

design and make quality products.
explore food and cooking techniques along with healthy eating and environmental issues within food production.
develop design and making skills, knowledge and understanding; using and selecting a range of tools, materials and components.
become creative problem solvers as individuals and members of a team.
be able to use computing in conjunction with the Designing and Making process.
develop an ability to criticise constructively and evaluate their own products and those of others.
develop an understanding of the ways people in the past and present have used design to meet their needs. To reflect on and evaluate such techniques, its uses and effects.
