“Design creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future.” – Robert L. Peters
Design & Technology at St John Fisher
At St John Fisher, Design and Technology encourages every child to aim high, work hard and be kind as they turn ideas into reality. Through exciting, hands-on projects in food, mechanisms, materials and structures, children develop practical skills alongside imagination and creativity. They learn how to design with purpose, make with care, and evaluate thoughtfully, building confidence and independence as they move through school.
The curriculum helps pupils to understand how things work and how design can solve real problems. From preparing and cooking food to creating moving models or constructing shelters, children are taught to plan, measure, cut, join and finish with increasing accuracy and skill. Along the way, they learn to communicate their ideas clearly, to work effectively as part of a team, and to persevere when faced with challenges.
Design and Technology at St John Fisher nurtures curiosity, resilience and pride in making, helping every child to see themselves as a designer, engineer or creator who can shape the world around them for the better.
