INTENT Our design technology curriculum allows pupils to learn, and build on, appropriate subject knowledge, skills and understanding as they move on their journey through school. Our aim is for all pupils to be able to draw on their experiences in their later lives. IMPLEMENTATION Delivery of cross curricular design and technology projects with a clear structure that progresses skills and knowledge through school and across year groups. IMPACT Children will ultimately know more, remember more and understand more about Design Technology, demonstrating this knowledge when using tools or skills in other areas of the curriculum and in opportunities out of school and later life. |
