Rationale
At Scunthorpe C of E Primary School, we value every pupil and the contribution they have to make. As a result, we aim to ensure that every child achieves success and that all are enabled to develop their skills in accordance with their level of ability. Design and Technology is important because it encourages pupils to think and creatively solve problems both as individuals and as a group. DT is not taught in isolation and requires all children to feel confident in their own design process. Wherever possible Design and Technology objectives are linked to other areas of the curriculum to give their work practical context and apply skills to ‘real world’ problem solving.
