‘Design and Technology is about providing opportunities for students to develop their capability, combining their designing and making skills with knowledge and understanding in order to create quality products.’ DTA 2023
Intent At Eggbuckland Vale we want all children, regardless of need or barrier, to look at the world around them and question how and why things are made. We want them to have opportunities to design products and evaluate their effectiveness- creating quality products. Children will have opportunities to develop their creativeness and have hands on practical experiences. They will learn about sustainability and ways in which we can support the environment.
Implementation We use a curriculum that focusses on developing skills and knowledge, using the design, make and evaluate model. Throughout the curriculum children will be inspired by engineers, designers, chefs and architects to enable and encourage them to create a range of mechanisms, food, structures, textiles, mechanical systems, and Electrical Systems. Projects will have a real-life purpose and will be designed with a specific user in mind. The spiralling nature of our curriculum ensures that children develop key knowledge and skills and focusses on developing key subject specific vocabulary.
Impact Through our progressive curriculum children will become confident designers, remembering more, understanding more and being able to use more skills. Children will develop skills and knowledge they can use beyond school, into future education experiences and on into adulthood. |
