Here at St Peter's, we aim to promote critical thinking and support the progressive development of fundamental technological skills.  We strive to achieve this through inspiring all pupils in becoming resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens with a love for design and technology.  Our intent is to encourage all pupils to:

• develop confidence in designing, making and evaluating products in line with the six key Design and Technology principles:
  • User
  • Purpose 
  • Functionality 
  • Design Decisions
  • Innovation
  • Authenticity

• develop the creative, technical and practical expertise needed to perform everyday tasks confidently and to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world.
• design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values.
• be challenged and inspired to create and experience high quality design and technology projects.
• encourage pupils to learn how to take risks, become resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens.
• build and apply a repertoire of knowledge, understanding and skills in order to design and make high-quality prototypes and products for a wide range of users.
• critique, evaluate and test their ideas and products and the work of others.
• understand and apply the principles of nutrition and learn how to cook.
