Design and Technology at St Breock

 

"Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you look deeper, it's really how it works." – Steve Jobs

Intent:

At St Breock, Design & Technology is an integral part of a broad and balanced curriculum. Our ambitious and inclusive approach ensures all pupils develop creativity, technical skills and confidence in designing and making functional products. Through high‑quality teaching, pupils learn to think critically, solve problems and understand how design works in the real world.

We aim to:

• Inspire and challenge pupils through practical, purposeful Design & Technology experiences

• Develop skills in designing, making and evaluating products using a range of materials and tools

• Build technical knowledge to confidently carry out everyday tasks

• Encourage pupils to test, improve and evaluate their ideas and work

• Introduce influential designers, engineers and inventors

• Ensure pupils use subject‑specific Design & Technology vocabulary confidently
