At Sir Alexander Fleming Nursery and Primary School we recognise the importance of design and technology and the importance of encouraging children to think and intervene creatively to solve problems around them. Children will develop technical understanding, skills, learn about design methods and investigate their environment and everyday materials.

At Sir Alexander Fleming Primary school, we aim to provide all children with a broad and balanced curriculum which prepares them for life beyond primary education. We encourage children to use their creativity and imagination, to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values.
Design and Technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. It can be found in many of the objects children use each day and is a part of children’s immediate experiences. We therefore aim to, wherever possible, link work within Design and Technology to other disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art.
At Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School, our school values are integral factors in the teaching and learning of our Design and Technology curriculum. The subject encourages children to be brave and resilient when problem solving, take pride in their experimentation and creativity to solve and investigate problems, use tools safely, work both as individuals and as members of a team respectfully and successfully become innovators and risk-takers who achieve their design potential.
