The purpose of design technology education at Greatham CE School is to enable pupils to be creative and use their imagination to make products that solve real and relevant problems in different contexts. In this subject, children will acquire a broad range of knowledge and draw on other areas of the curriculum to be successful. Evaluation of past and present design and technology will enable pupils to develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world.
Opportunities are provided for children to evaluate key events and individuals who have helped shape the world, showing the real impact of design and technology on the wider environment and helping to inspire children to become the next generation of innovators.
