Statement of Intent

At St John’s Church of England Academy, our children will gain experience and skills of a wide range of formal elements of design and concepts of technology in a way that will enhance their learning opportunities in both Design and Technology and the broader curriculum. The Design and Technology at our school encourages children to learn to think and intervene imaginatively to solve problems, both as individuals and as part of a team. It is important to us that we are creating a curriculum that nurtures creativity, encourages innovative thinking and challenges children to be bold and take risks within their work.

Above all,  we intend that children should master Design and Technology to such an extent that they are inspired to go on to pursue a career within Design and Technology and make use of the skills taught to them in everyday life.
