Design Technology

Our vision for Design and Technology is that all pupils develop creativity, practical skills, and technical understanding through engaging in purposeful designing, making and evaluating. Pupils are encouraged to explore ideas, plan their work, select appropriate tools and materials, and refine their outcomes through testing and feedback.

The curriculum promotes problem-solving, resilience, and innovation, enabling pupils to meet real-world challenges and consider the needs of themselves and others. Pupils use subject-specific vocabulary confidently to discuss their designs and reflect on their processes.

Learning is carefully sequenced to build knowledge and skills progressively, fostering resourcefulness, independence, and enjoyment of practical making. To support this vision, we use the Cornerstones Design and Technology curriculum, which provides structured, creative schemes of learning that ensure full coverage of the National Curriculum and promote confident, skillful application of design and technology processes for all pupils.
