Design and Technology

Design and Technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. Through inventiveness, ingenuity and innovation children will have a deep understanding of the knowledge and vocabulary of the processes involved in designing products that solve real and relevant problems.

By providing children with a variety of experiences they will develop an understanding of DT and its impact on daily lives and the wider world, through exploring and evaluating past and present designs.

Through the DT curriculum, children should be inspired by engineers, designers, chefs and architects to enable them to create a range of structures, mechanisms, textiles, electrical systems and food products with a real life purpose.

We aim to, wherever possible, link work to other disciplines such as mathematics, science, computing and art, using transferable vocabulary and skills to ensure a deeper understanding.
