Design Technology at St Rose's
At St Rose’s, we believe that Design and Technology (DT) is more than just making things—it's about thinking creatively, solving problems, and working together. Our DT curriculum is designed to be accessible to all children, helping them develop the skills and confidence to become young designers.
Our aims are to:
-
Build knowledge and skills step-by-step.
-
Encourage problem-solving and creativity.
-
Make learning enjoyable and rewarding.
This curriculum links closely to the National Curriculum, which focuses on developing practical expertise and creativity, and the EYFS Early Learning Goals, where children explore materials and tools and express their ideas through design and making.
