Design Technology - Catering

In delivering Design and Technology (DT) at Academy 360, we understand that DT allows children to problem solve, think creatively and develop their own ideas within a defined purpose and outcome. The school is committed to nurturing pupil’s curiosity and creativity, as well as preparing them for living in a modern world where technology is rapidly changing and advancing.

When teaching DT, we aim to help children develop their design and making skills, this involves encouraging them to use their imagination and critical thinking. As well as, developing their knowledge and understanding of design and technologies whilst being given the opportunity to use a wide range of tools and materials to produce a final product. In addition to this, the children are continuously reminded about working safely and the appropriate protective measures to use when working within DT. Furthermore, the children are encouraged to work individually and collaboratively with other pupils in a variety of contexts to develop products of a high standard through skills and understanding.

Finally, the children are expected to evaluate their own products, their peers and different companies to explore the man-made world and encourage discussion of how we live and work within it. Our aim is during this process, the children will develop an interest and understanding of technological processes and the role of manufacturing in society. As well as, learning the principles of nutrition, healthy eating and how to cook.
