Design and Technology

Design and Technology is led by Miss Laurie and Miss Whalley who have a keen interest in design, creative links to topics and food technology.

Emerging skills in D&T are weaved into daily tasks in the Early Years where pupils are always cutting, joining and creating a range of projects.  These skills are built on in wholly creative ways across Key Stage One where regular opportunities are found to teach the subject.  Here you will find baking, cooking, sewing, vehicles and woodwork to name a few examples.

D&T becomes more technical across Key Stage 2 including more challenging textile projects, designing and making some great structures and creating food celebrating culture and seasonality. 

By delivering a curriculum in Design & Technology, the intent is to develop our know, explore communicate curriculum by exploring an enquiry based approach where the children have the opportunity to explore the creative, technical and practical expertise needed to perform everyday tasks confidently and successfully. For the children to be able to build on the knowledge, understanding and skills taught in previous years in order to design and make high-quality prototypes and products for a wide range of users. For all children to be able to critique, test and evaluate test their ideas and products and the work of others. To allow the children to understand and apply the principles of nutrition and learn and progress how to cook using more complex skills and techniques.

On this webpage you will find some photo examples of the wonderful work going on.

How does the Early Years Curriculum get our pupils ready for the Y1-6 Curriculum?
