At Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ (PCA) we strongly believe that Technology is an area in which all our pupils can experience success. We believe there are many opportunities to learn and where every student is successful today and prepared for tomorrow.

 

At PCA our students become …

  • Responsible – doing the things you are supposed to do
  • Resilient - Keep trying, enjoy a challenge and don’t give up.
  • Successful – being accomplished at something

We have a strong ethos in PCA that Technology should enable young people to become a better version of themselves.  The activities in Design and Technology will offer the pupils the opportunity to draw on their own experiences and to develop them more fully.  We therefore aim to foster curiosity, encourage investigation and observation, and instil skills which will be developed as the pupil progresses through the school.  Pupils are encouraged to identify needs, investigate possible solutions, design accordingly, produce their designs and evaluate at a level appropriate to their development.

Pupils will be encouraged to develop a responsible and resilient attitude to their environment within a practical situation, prompting skills and attitudes which will enhance learning in other curriculum areas and contributing to the overall success and development of the pupils.


We ensure the curriculum is progressive, broad, balanced and relevant in terms of processes, rich in experiences, opportunities and challenges all. 
Our core themes that are embedded from EYFS right up to KS5 are:
