Why is Design and Technology important at South Petherwin?
At South Petherwin, we feel it is vital to nurture creativity and innovation through design by exploring the designed and made world in which we all live and work.
Design and Technology at South Petherwin aims to inspire children to be innovative and creative thinkers who have the appreciation of the product design process through design, make and evaluate. All pupils, from EYFS to Year 6, participate in engaging, purposeful and rich Design and Technology lessons. The children are encouraged to design, construct and evaluate models according to a brief. The level of design criteria, practical skills required and the evaluative process used progresses as the children move through the school. We want our children to have an awareness of the impact that Design and Technology has on our lives and encourage children to become resourceful, enterprising citizens who have the skills to contribute to future design advancements.
