DT should provide children with a real-life context for learning. At Whitecote we want to inspire children to be more. Creating opportunities for them in the wider world to use after their time at Whitecote. As an inspiring and practical subject, through the DT curriculum children should be inspired by engineers, designers, chefs and architects to enable them to create a range of structures, mechanisms, textiles, electrical systems and food products with a real-life purpose. It encourages children to become independent, creative problem solvers, thinking as individuals and as part of a team.
