At St Charles we believe that children should be inquisitive, confident learners who can work both independently and as a team to solve problems. Our teaching of DT helps develop these skills as children are presented with  real life scenarios to find a solution and design and make the product. Our lessons are tailored to the children’s experiences and where possible are purposeful to other learning that is taking place. Children are encouraged to think about the needs of the user, developing their awareness and understanding of others’ needs to support their development of citizenship and community.
