To increase pupils’ prospects by:
- Enabling them to effectively think creatively like a designer, engineer, sculptor, architect and chef
- Enabling them to gain age appropriate knowledge and understanding of design and technology by implementing a curriculum designed to allow children time to practice and revisit skills within each unit, across each Key Stage and through their entire learning journey at CES.
