Through our design and technology curriculum, we aim to provide opportunities for DT to be the inspiring, rigorous and practical subject it needs to be. We encourage children to learn through thinking creatively to solve problems both as individuals and as members of a team.
We aim to, wherever possible, link work to other disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art. The children are also given opportunities to reflect upon and evaluate past and present design technology, its uses and its effectiveness and are encouraged to become innovators and risk-takers.

We give breadth by delivering the knowledge, understanding and skills from the four aims of the National Curriculum:
