Design & Technology at Riverside

Design and Technology should be an inspiring subject. In an age when schools cannot predict the jobs the children they teach will undertake in twenty years, Design and Technology is a subject that can bridge that skills gap. The skills, technique and processes that are applied within Design and Technology can be applied across so much more: risk taking; innovating; research and evaluation.

At Riverside Junior School we promise that each child will:

· Cook in every year group

· Take risks using and selecting real life tools in the creating of prototypes and products

· Research and critique their own and others products/ideas

· Learn about real life designers within the UK who were at the forefront of innovation inspiring their own process

· Learn how design has shaped and changed products within and without the family home
