Design Technology
At St Saviour’s Academy, Design and Technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. It can be found in many everyday objects children use. Children gain inspiration through engineers, designers and chefs to enable them to create a range of textiles, structure, mechanisms and food products, with a real-life purpose. Design and Technology encourages children to learn to think and intervene creatively to solve problems both as individuals and as members of a team. We combine skills, knowledge, concepts and values to enable children to tackle real problems. It can improve analysis, problem solving, practical capability and evaluation skills. We aim to link work to other areas of the curriculum such as; mathematics, science, history, geography, computing and art.
