We recognise that many areas of learning such as problem solving, computing, creativity and practical skills are developed through the teaching of Design Technology. All children learn how to design, make and evaluate their products alongside learning technical skills. As a school we understand that learning to cook is a crucial skill. Each year group is taught to cook in our well equipped kitchen whilst developing an understanding of nutrition and healthy eating habits.
