"Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it." — Sir Henry Royce
Design & Technology
'Love to Learn, Together with the Lord'
"Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths." Psalm 25:4
At All Saints' we believe we are all made in the image of God however all unique and different; each of us is called to follow Jesus throughout our lives, in different ways and with varying paths.
We work to ensure that each child can hear the voice of the Lord, and be equipped in body, mind and spirit, to respond in the best way. Through close collaboration with our parish church and with our wider community we make sure that our children have strong Christian values, are healthy and safe and are encouraged to aspire to be the best person they can be.
Through our curriculum, worship, and play we help every member of our school community to develop life long Christian faith and live this out in their daily lives. In short, we want our children to love to learn together with the Lord and go out into his world and make a difference.
At All Saints' we believe that Design and technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. Using creativity and imagination, pupils design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. They acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and draw on disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art. Pupils learn how to take risks, becoming resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. Through the evaluation of past and present design and technology, they develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world. High-quality design and technology education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation. Design Technology strengthens pupils spirituality with the connection of creativity within themselves towards the world in which they live.
