At Eccleston Primary School, Design Technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. We want our pupils to understand the benefits of imagination, taking risks and collaboration. Children are encouraged to solve real life and relevant problems within a variety of contexts. We aim to give children skills for life which can help them with future studies. We want our pupils to instil qualities such as curiosity, enquiry and determination. Pupils are inspired, engaged and excited through carrying out a range of effective research and design tasks prior to production of products. Students thrive in learning how to work both independently and collaboratively to gain an in-depth understanding of the creative and problem-solving process. After creating a tangible product, this fills the pupils with the sense of achievement, pride, and boosts self-esteem.
