Intent statement:
At Thames View Junior School, we intend to build a Design and Technology curriculum which develops learning and results in the acquisition of knowledge and skills. Children will know more, remember more and understand more.
We intend to design a Design and Technology curriculum with appropriate subject knowledge, skills and understanding as set out in the National Curriculum Design and Technology Programmes of study, to fulfil the duties of the NC whereby schools must provide a balanced and broadly-based curriculum which promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils and prepares them for the opportunities and responsibilities and experiences for later life.
At Thames View Junior School, we aim to inspire pupils to be innovative and creative thinkers who have an appreciation for the product design cycle through ideation, creation, and evaluation. We want pupils to develop
the confidence to take risks, through drafting design concepts, modelling and testing and to be reflective learners who evaluate their work and the work of others. We aim to build an awareness of the impact of design and technology on our lives and encourage pupils to become resourceful, enterprising citizens who will have the skills to contribute to future design advancements.
