Design and Technology
Design and Technology
At West Twyford, we follow the National Curriculum for Design and Technology.
The aims of Design and Technology in our school are:
- To develop imaginative thinking in children and to enable them to talk about what they like and dislike when designing and making;
- To enable children to talk about how things work, and to draw and model their ideas;
- To encourage children to select appropriate tools and techniques for making a product, whilst following safe procedures;
- To foster enjoyment, satisfaction and purpose in designing and making;
- To use ICT software to assist our designing and learning.
Below are just some of the learning experiences West Twyford has to offer students at the different year levels.
