Intent
At Lent Rise School, our intent is to deliver a wide, skills-based curriculum that equips pupils with the knowledge and understanding that they can apply in later life. We want all our pupils to be equipped for learning and to develop critical thinking skills that enable them to make good choices and reflect and reason. Our pupils work with ambition in a safe and secure environment.
Implementation
Our Design and Technology curriculum is planned to ensure aspirations and ambition for all our pupils is attainable. The pupils will learn how to be resilient and effective learners. We encourage children to use their creativity and imagination, to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. Our pupils will learn that safety is paramount when developing and making their products.
Impact
Through the Design and Technology curriculum, the pupils will be able to develop ideas and produce products fit for a purpose, exploring their products beforehand in depth, and in a variety of ways. The children will evaluate their products based on either consumer research or design criteria and confidently explain the reasons for their choices. Through the evaluation of past and present design and technology, our pupils will develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world. Their experiences will prepare them with hope and confidence for the future.
Pathway Subject Statement:
To prepare and equip children for our rapidly changing world, nurturing their creativity and helping them develop their risk-taking skills, resourcefulness, innovation, and enterprise, thus in turn allowing them to be capable citizens through the acquisition of skills, allowing them to know more, remember more and understand more.
