At Woodchurch CE Primary we believe that Art and Design can enable children to communicate their thoughts, ideas and observations in a practical and expressive way. This then gives the ability to influence the world around us in a positive way. Our Art and Design programme develops our children’s resilience and self-confidence, enabling the children to see themselves as artists and designers.  We aim to give the children experiences that shape the way they creatively see and record the world around them; broaden their horizons and provide all children with a creative outlet for self-expression.

How we teach it?

We have crafted a comprehensive curriculum for Design & Technology that blends traditional techniques with contemporary approaches, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of cultures and design perspectives. Our curriculum introduces students to the works of renowned designers, engineers, and innovators, exploring a spectrum of design principles and solutions. In our Design & Technology lessons, our children engage with various materials, tools, and technologies to understand the fundamentals of design, construction, and problem-solving. Through hands-on activities, students explore concepts related to shape, texture, colour, and space, allowing them to apply their knowledge in practical and innovative ways.
