DT at Cockton Hill Junior School:

Design & Technology helps children to become problem solvers through practical tasks, using creativity and imagination. It represents an essential aspect of individual development of knowledge, concepts, skills and attitudes that enable pupils to engage in a broad range of creative activities in response to identifying needs and problems. It involves the relationship of ideas, judgements and manipulation materials, systems and equipment. It generates creative capability that can be applied to real life situations.
