Design and Technology
We use Cornerstones to provide a Design and Technology curriculum that is well sequenced, coherent and builds pupils’ knowledge and skills over time. Our curriculum provides clear expectations as to what pupils will know and be able to do at given ‘end points’ throughout each year, and does so within the context of our specific school community.
The Design and Technology projects develop children’s designing, planning, making and evaluating skills. Each project is based around a Design and Technology subject focus of structures, mechanisms, cooking and nutrition or textiles. The curriculum’s electronic systems and IT monitoring and control elements are explicitly taught in our Science projects, also using the Cornerstones framework, to ensure the links between the subjects are highlighted.
Our curriculum documents can be viewed below.
