DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY

At West Acton Primary, we believe in the value and impact of teaching Design Technology as part of a broad and balanced curriculum. We aim to provide children with opportunities to develop and extend skills to plan, design, create and evaluate design products of meaning and with an end use in mind.

High quality Design Technology education equips children with the skills to explore, experiment, create and invent their own products whilst engaging, inspiring and challenging pupils. As designers, children should be able to critically evaluate their work and the work of others, taking influence from well-known designers and adapting their work accordingly. As their skill set progresses, they should understand how design has evolved and how it shapes the world around them.

At West Acton Primary School Design and Technology is taught every half term (alternating with Art & Design) from Years 1-6 and throughout the year in the EYFS.
