Design and Technology Curriculum Intent

At Glebe Farm School, our Design and Technology curriculum is driven by a commitment to nurture ambitious, creative, and skilled scholars who will shape the future. Rooted in the school’s core values of ambition, belonging, and creativity, we strive to inspire students to engage with design in a way that empowers them to tackle the challenges of tomorrow. By embedding these values across all aspects of our curriculum, we foster an environment where students feel both supported and challenged, helping them develop not only the technical skills necessary to excel but also the confidence to innovate and lead.

Our faculty champions the use of cutting-edge technology at every stage of the iterative design process; research, analysis, design, development, manufacturing, testing, and evaluation. Through these stages, students learn to think critically, solve real-world problems, and create solutions that are both functional and sustainable. We aim to develop young designers who possess the creativity to imagine new possibilities and the technical proficiency to bring these ideas to life. By utilizing industry-standard tools, software, and manufacturing techniques, our students are prepared to make a significant impact in a world increasingly shaped by technology and innovation.

At Glebe Farm School, we are not just teaching students to make things; we are empowering them to design the future. Whether it’s through designing products for a sustainable world or developing technologies that improve lives, our Design and Technology curriculum ensures that students leave with the skills, knowledge, and ambition to succeed. Through hands-on experiences and a focus on creativity and problem-solving, we create a community of designers and manufacturers who are ready to shape a better world for all.
