Design and Technology
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.
