School Vision: Excellence in learning – Investment in Oracy – Strength in Inclusivity

We want every child to become a creative, curious and confident problem-solver. Design and Technology gives children the opportunity to identify problems, develop ideas and turn their designs into purposeful, functional products. Through practical and creative experiences, children learn to design, make and evaluate products for a range of users and purposes. They develop an understanding that successful design involves imagination, careful planning, practical skills, problem-solving and refinement. We want children to understand that Design and Technology is all around them and plays an important role in shaping the world in which we live.

An introduction from Miss Mol, Laurel Lane's Art and Design & Technology Subject Leader

As the Art and Design & Technology (DT) Subject Lead, I am passionate about encouraging creativity, imagination and self-expression in every child. I love leading these subjects because they give children the freedom to explore their ideas, develop practical skills and take pride in creating something of their own.

My hope is that through Art and DT, our children become confident, curious and resilient learners who are not afraid to experiment, make mistakes and try again. I want every child to recognise that creativity has no limits and to leave our school with the confidence to think independently, solve problems and appreciate the world around them.
