Our School Vision

 

‘Unlocking possibilities, making a difference’

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Philippians 4:13

 

 

Vision Statement

 

Through the teaching and learning of DT, we want our children to have the wisdom, knowledge and skills to flourish. We aim to provide our children with opportunities to be creative and express themselves, through designing and making products, which carefully consider the intended purpose and user. Having access to these opportunities enables the children to be inspired and unlock new possibilities by applying new techniques and completing their own projects. Throughout the children’s time in our school, they will explore a range of techniques and skills which may not always be easy. These skills will take motivation, practise and resilience to become refined in order to finish their project. Our Bible scripture of ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’ Philippians 4:13 reminds us that we can draw upon God’s strength and guidance and challenge ourselves to hone new skills, which one day may make a difference to ourselves and others.
