In DT, our intent is to provide a curriculum which inspires pupils to be innovative and creative thinkers who have appreciation for the product design cycle, through ideation, creation and evaluation. We aim to provide pupils with opportunities to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems in a variety of contexts. As a school, we take inspiration from Kapow to ensure we teach a broad, balanced and sequential curriculum that allows our pupils to gain the appropriate knowledge and skills at each stage in their primary school journey. Through our lessons, we aim to build an awareness of the impact of design and technology on our lives and encourage our pupils to become resourceful, enterprising citizens who will contribute to future design advancements.
