Design and Technology
We hope this page offers you a wealth of information about DT at Headfield. If you require any further information or support with DT, please contact our subject leader Mrs Jowett in Year 6.
DT Policy
It is important to prepare children for a technological future and provide children with the design and technology skills that will be vital for future jobs and valuable life skills.
At Headfield we provide opportunities for each child to design, make and evaluate their ideas through a series of exciting projects linked to their current cornerstones topic. Children are encouraged to be inventive and use a wide range of tools and materials.
