At Aston Clinton School, we believe:

• In the importance of providing lessons that spark the interest of pupils to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values.
• That pupils should acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and draw on disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art.
• In the importance of pupils learning how to take risks - creating resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. That through the evaluation of past and present design and technology, pupils develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world.
• That high-quality design and technology education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation.
