D&T & CONSTRUCTION
Welcome to the Technology department...
Exodus 35:31-32, 35:​
The LORD said to Moses, “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft. He has filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer or by a weaver—by any sort of workman or skilled designer. And behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have given to all able men ability, that they may make all that I have commanded you.
Design and Technology is about developing creativity and imagination. Giving pupils opportunities to explore and experiment through practical experiences.
It offers opportunities to develop the transferrable skills future employers need: using initiative, organisation, communication, being innovative, good teamwork and being analytical.
Students learn to design and make products that solve genuine, relevant problems or needs within different contexts whilst considering their own and other’ needs, wants and values. To do this effectively, pupils acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and draw on additional disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing, and art.
Through the inclusion of the Design Engineer Construct! program we aim to develop pupils understanding of the built environment, the world around them and develop industry links with local and national companies such as Balfour Beatty and Countryside Properties.
