Design and Technology

‘Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.’ – Steve Jobs (industrial designer, co-founder and CEO of Apple)

Design and Technology Subject Progression Framework

At Bishop Perrin School we believe that design and technology helps to prepare children for the developing world and encourages them to become curious and creative problem-solvers, both as individuals and as part of a team. We provide opportunities for children to work in a range of relevant contexts, reflecting the real world. We seek to develop children’s ability to investigate, analyse and evaluate a range of products, applying their understanding and technical knowledge across a range of products and materials. Wherever possible we link work to other subjects such as maths, science, computing and art.
