Design and technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. With creativity as their guide, our students embark on a rigorous yet exciting exploration, transforming their imagination into tangible solutions.

In this captivating realm, pupils master the art of designing and creating products that address genuine challenges within diverse contexts. They consider not only their own needs but also the needs of others, fostering empathy and a deep understanding of the world.

Through a rich fusion of mathematics, science, engineering, computing, and art, students acquire a vast reservoir of knowledge that fuels their innovative projects. Encouraged to take risks, they develop resourcefulness and an enterprising spirit, laying the groundwork for becoming capable citizens in an ever-evolving world.

Past and present design achievements are woven into their learning, allowing students to critically analyse the profound impact of design and technology on our daily lives and the broader world. At Parklands Primary, Design and Technology isn’t just about crafting products; it’s about nurturing the next generation of innovative thinkers and problem solvers, ready to shape a future that’s both practical and visionary
