Overview

Our design technology curriculum follows the National Curriculum and is designed to give pupils the knowledge, skills and creativity to design, make and evaluate purposeful products.

Children learn how to use a range of tools and materials safely and effectively while developing problem-solving skills and an understanding of how design impacts everyday life.

Through practical projects linked to real-world contexts pupils explore construction, textiles and food technology, building confidence and independence as they progress through school.
