Design and Technology 

The aim of Design and Technology at The Promise School is to provide, for every student, the opportunity to use their creativity and imagination to solve real and relevant problems from a variety of contexts, considering their own and others needs, wants and values. We aim to give our students the knowledge, skills and confidence to advance through the Design and Technology curriculum from Year 7, through to Year 11 and then beyond by layering complexity and challenge as our students’ progress. 

At The Promise School we will encourage our students to: 

• Look to the future; be creative and innovative 

• Design and make products using a variety of materials that work well and look good 

• Make design decisions that matter to the users of the products and to the wider world 

• Draw on a wide range of knowledge to solve problems in relevant, real life contexts 

• Develop an enterprising attitude and take risks 

• See opportunities and make things happen
