At Nutgrove Methodist, our vision for Design Technology is to cultivate beginner’s minds. Design and technology is a subject that is inspiring and practical. Pupils use their creativity and imagination to help them design and make products that are original and serve a real-world purpose. Their abilities and knowledge in mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art all help them to be successful designers, as well as providing the opportunity to develop an understanding of cooking and nutrition as part of a healthy lifestyle. Pupils learn how to take risks in order to become resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. Through the evaluation of past and present influential designers, they develop a critical understanding of the impact they have had on daily life and the wider world.

High-quality design and technology education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation and at Nutgrove Methodist we endeavour to give every child the opportunity to be a part of this in their own unique way.
