Design Technology Lead – Miss M.Savin

Whole school Art and DT plan 21-22

Design and technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. Using creativity and imagination, pupils design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. They acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and draw on disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art. Pupils learn how to take risks, becoming resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. Through the evaluation of past
and present design and technology, they develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world. High-quality design and technology education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation.

We follow:

National Curriculum (2014)  (KS 1 & 2)

Development Matters-Expressive Arts & Design (2021)   (Foundation Stage)

At Saints Peter and Paul, we aim to provide the opportunity for all children to design, make and evaluate various products throughout the year, each covering various key skills allowing for progression. This will be taught through topic.

Across the school,  pupils will be taught the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to engage in an iterative process of designing and making. They will learn this through a range of contexts.
