Design and Technology

Intent

At Limpsfield C.E. Infant School we want children to become engineers of the future. We believe that everyone has the potential to succeed and should have the provision to explore their creativity in a variety of different ways.

Implementation

At Limpsfield C.E. Infant School we approach design and technology in a cross curricular manner, enhancing other areas of learning with design projects. We use ‘Designing Days’ to give children time and space to engage fully with all the different aspects of designing a project from the initial ideas to the final product.  Children are encouraged to think creatively and critically and to explore how things are made and how they work. Children are given opportunities to learn technical skills, to work practically and to evaluate and test their products before modifying and improving them.

Impact

At Limpsfield C.E. Infant School children thoroughly enjoy the processes of creating and designing. They are confident to share these with the rest of the school through collective worship presentations and showcases of work.
