Design & Technology

Our Intent, Implementation and Impact: 

At Bishops Cannings Primary we want to ensure that all the D&T taught enables children to design, make and evaluate functional products with users and purposes in mind. We aim to inspire children through a broad range of practical experiences to create innovative designs which solve real and relevant problems within a variety of different contexts. They will evaluate existing products and then take risks and innovate when designing and creating solutions to the problems. As part of the process, time is built in to reflect, evaluate and improve on prototypes using design criteria throughout to support this process. Through these lessons, we intend to inspire pupils to develop a love of Design and Technology and see how it has helped to shape the ever-evolving technological world they live in.

At Bishops Cannings Primary, we want our children to enjoy and be inspired by – STEM. This will ultimately enhance our wider curriculum and provide our children with the knowledge and skills for the exciting and important jobs of the future.
