DESIGN TECHNOLOGY

Curriculum intent

In Technology at CHS we aim to develop a range of skills and knowledge through specialist teaching in Product Design, Food and Textiles. Technology aims to provide students with a mixture of useful everyday skills and an academic insight into the world of design.

Reading and comprehension are essential skills that are encouraged in all Technology areas. Our curriculum builds in the use of key words and spellings along with the use of literacy mats to help all our students achieve. 

We strive to make our curriculum ENJOYable through our hands-on approach where students are encouraged to be creative, learn new skills, problem solve and create high-quality products that meet a real-life brief.

It is important our curriculum ENDEAVOURS to challenge, motivate and inspire our students. We provide opportunities for students to endeavour to be resourceful, innovative, problem solve, apply knowledge and values, use appropriate skills, consider safety and work outside their comfort zone in a range of mediums and contexts.

We want our Technology curriculum to allow students to EXCEL in order to function, challenge and lead the way in the exciting world ahead.
