Design Technology

DT at WVPS

At Worth Valley Primary School, our vision for Design and Technology (DT) revolves around inspiring creativity and fostering innovation among our students. We embrace the KAPOW scheme to cultivate practical skills and encourage problem-solving abilities through hands-on learning experiences.

Our approach emphasizes the development of critical skills such as designing, prototyping, and evaluating solutions to real-world challenges. Students learn to use tools and materials effectively, ensuring they can safely manipulate and create with confidence. DT at our school integrates seamlessly with other subjects, reinforcing mathematical concepts through measurements and scientific principles in investigations.

At Worth Valley Primary School, DT is not just a subject but a pathway to equipping our students with the skills and mindset to thrive in a dynamic and technological world. We are dedicated to nurturing the next generation of creative thinkers and problem-solvers who will make meaningful contributions to society.
