​

At Oxbridge Lane, we want all of our pupils to learn to think creatively in order to solve problems, both as individuals and in groups, resulting in the acquisition of new knowledge and skills. Our DT curriculum is designed to ignite curiosity, motivate our children and promote a love for learning within DT.  

​

We teach our children to use their creativity and imagination to express themselves whilst developing their knowledge, skills and understanding within design. DT helps pupils to solve exciting, relevant real-life problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own needs, wants and values as well as others. At Oxbridge Lane, we understand the diversity of the world and the importance of exposing our pupils to a wide range of products and hands-on, engaging experiences that can empower each child to become developers, designers, evaluators and that of a critique, exploring how products can be developed or adapted for different users as well as creating and testing prototypes to give purpose to projects. Children will work in a positive learning environment where all work will be celebrated and children can develop. 

​

Projects are cross curricular wherever possible linking to other subjects taught such as mathematics, science, computing and art. The children are also given opportunities to reflect upon and evaluate past and present design technology, its uses and its effectiveness and are encouraged to become innovators and risk takers. Our goal is to foster a generation of confident problem solvers and imaginative thinkers who can contribute positively to their communities and the world.
