THE WARDLE WAY Design & Technology Design & Technology Intent Statement The Technology Department aims to develop independent, creative learners. Students use a variety of tools and equipment safely and competently to design and make high quality working prototypes that meet human needs. Students are encouraged to build up resilience and acquire practical skills they can use throughout their life. Overview The Design and Technology Department work hard to provide all our students with the opportunity to identify, realise and develop their talents, equipping them with invaluable skills for life. Students use a variety of materials to develop their capability, combining their designing and making skills in order to create high quality products. Students are challenged to produce new, innovative and exciting creations. Students use materials, including food, textiles, woods, metals, plastics, electronics, and smart materials along with the effective integration of computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacture (CAM), to produce work which reflects the modern world we live in. Design and Technology is a subject which naturally links with other subjects, including Maths, Science, ICT and Art, giving students the opportunity to use cross curricular knowledge and understanding effectively. Food and Nutrition Intent Statement At Wardle Academy students will develop a love of cooking and an understanding of nutrition to support a healthy lifestyle. They will learn a range of cooking techniques to allow them to produce creative and technical dishes, now and in later life.
