Design Technology
Our Design and technology curriculum aims to inspire pupils to become curious, creative and innovative thinkers with a broad understanding of how products are designed and made, in other words, to think like designers and engineers.
The intention is for pupils to develop the confidence to identify problems, generate ideas, plan and create products and evaluate their outcomes.
Our curriculum aims to raise pupils’ awareness of how design and technology shape the way they live, work and interact with the world. It encourages pupils to become resourceful, enterprising individuals who have the skills to contribute to and improve the world around them
We follow the Kapow primary’s design and technology scheme, where pupils respond to design briefs and scenarios that require consideration of the needs of others, developing their skills in six key areas:
- Mechanisms
- Structures
- Textiles
- Cooking and nutrition
- Electrical systems (Years 3-6)
- Digital world (Years 3-6).
Our Design and technology curriculum allows our children’s imagination to run wild. They will be challenged to solve problems and enjoy experimentation to find answers.
