Design & Technology
At Westwood, we believe Design and Technology should engage, inspire and challenge our children. In the technological and ever-changing world that we live in, our aim is to give our children the knowledge and skills to think creatively and imaginatively and utilise their natural curiosity. We aim to provide them with opportunities and scenarios to investigate, create and evaluate products for a purpose, within a context, considering both their own and other’s needs. Through DT, we hope to draw on other subjects (mathematics, science, computing) and allow children to develop critical thinking and understanding when considering products and designs and their impact on daily life and the wider world. We hope to promote diversity and intercultural understanding through our DT curriculum by studying a range of architects, designers, cooks and inventors and having an appreciation of their contributions to the design world.
