Design and Technology

In teaching Design and Technology at St James CE Primary Academy we aim to prepare our pupils for a rapidly changing society.

We believe D&T education stimulates creativity and imagination through problem solving both as individuals and as members of a team, and the production of quality products.

Although it is taught discreetly to ensure coverage, we aim to, wherever possible, link work to other curriculum areas such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art. The children are given opportunities to reflect upon and evaluate its effectiveness; encouraging innovation and risk-taking.
