They will acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and draw on disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art. Students learn how to take risks, becoming resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. Through the evaluation of past and present design and technology, they will 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. Our children at Five Islands Academy can become designers because of the holistic approach taken to learning about resistant materials and processes from EYFS to Key Stage 3. They can become designers because they know about and have experienced manufacturing with a range of materials and processes.
