Design and Technology

Design & Technology Curriculum Lead; Mrs N McNicholas
'Design is not just what it looks like or feels like, but how it works' ~ Steve Jobs.
" At St.Thomas' Cof E Primary Academy , Design & Technology is where curiosity, creativity and problem-solving come to life. From the earliest experiences in Reception through to the upper years, children develop their skills step by step through a carefully planned progression of learning. Whether exploring mechanisms, textiles, structures, electronics, or food technology, our pupils are encouraged to design with purpose, create with confidence, and evaluate with thoughtfulness- preparing them to become innovative thinkers of the future."
