Design and Technology enables children to exercise their creativity and imagination through designing and making, and encourages them to become independent, creative problem solvers and thinkers as individuals and part of a team. At Ox Close, we seek to inspire all children through a broad range of practical experiences to create innovative designs which solve real and relevant problems within a variety of different contexts.
In all areas of our curriculum, we place an emphasis upon developing key vocabulary to help equip the children with the tools they need to immerse themselves in the subject.
