Design & Technology

Through the Design and Technology (DT) curriculum, we aim to give children the skills to design, make and evaluate their own products, following a design brief in a variety of contexts.

Children will have the opportunity to develop their technical knowledge by using a range of tools and materials to create their products. From Year 1 onwards, each class has a DT day once per half-term to explore different aspects of design and technology. In the Early Years Foundation Stage, DT is integrated into the EYFS curriculum. It is taught and planned through whole-class teaching and continuous provision.

Whole school topics such as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) week also enable children to immerse themselves in DT.

Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works. – Steve Jobs
