Design and Technology

Our ambitious DT curriculum works alongside our Creative Curriculum topic and   addresses the needs of the children as individual learners, as embraced by our Christian Values. DT is integrated into other curriculum areas, such as science, computing, art and English to provide meaningful and purposeful experiences for children. The curriculum is sequenced to build on prior knowledge and skills to ensure that children experience a progression of vocabulary, skills and knowledge over time. Teaching is responsive to children’s interests, abilities, and learning styles and provides a range of active and practical experiences and that embrace the wealth of resources in our unique environment, including local long-established industries and traditional methods. Children will have access to a range of tools and equipment, both manual and digital, and be encouraged to experiment with different materials, techniques and processes. Children are encouraged to think critically, challenge assumptions and question preconceptions.
