Design & Technology

Intent

Throughout our DT curriculum, we work to develop children’s skills, knowledge and vocabulary progressively during their time at the school. In order for children to fully understand how important the planning, making and evaluating process is, each topic is linked to a real-life context where children produce a physical product. Where possible links to other subjects and topics are made.

D&T Overview

Implementation

Our curriculum covers a range of tools and techniques. Children have the opportunity to explore and evaluate different creative ideas, developing skills in design, making with technical knowledge and evaluating self and other products. The areas of learning within DT have been spread across the years to promote the development of skills.

GP DT Progression

Impact

Children enjoy participating in DT lessons. However, from pupil voice, the children did not know what DT was until I explained it to them. DT is being taught in all years and being evidenced well. Teachers have identified that they prefer the subject to be blocked instead of being taught weekly.
