Design Technology

At Windrush School, we ensure that DT lessons allow children to use their creativity and imaginations to design, make and assess real life products, considering the needs and wants of either themselves or the audience of their product. 

DT  lessons  also bring in skills from Maths, Science, Computing, Engineering and Art. The cross curricular nature of our curriculum means that all students have the opportunitiy to engage in different areas of the design curriculum and have a good understanding of how these skills can help them later in life. We feel it is important that the children understand why they learn when they are at school and so the impact on life around them.

From the very first day children start in Nursery they are encouraged to tinker, explore and investigate materials, processes and the way things are made. This sparks their curiosity which feeds into their design, make and evaluate processes further up the school. We celebrate creativity by showcasing their modelling and designs across the school in class, collective worship and around the school building.
