Intent
At Rothwell Primary School we value Design and Technology as a creative, inspiring and practical subject which helps children engage with and respond to our rapidly changing world.

We have developed a high quality programme of study in line with the National Curriculum which enables children to develop, make, test and evaluate their own and others work using technical skills and vocabulary.

We encourage children to become creative problem solvers, working as individuals and as part of a team. Our curriculum is inclusive, providing exciting learning opportunities for all children.

Implementation

Early Years Foundation Stage
The specific areas of Understanding the World and Expressive Art and Design help the children to start to develop their Design and Technology skills. Through a combination of child initiated and adult led activities, children are given opportunities to explore, create, make choices, discuss and experience everyday objects and technology in real life situations and to engage in creative and practical learning with a wide range of materials, media and tools.

Key Stage 1 and 2
Design and Technology is taught in all year groups. Termly projects are planned either discretely or as part of cross-curricular learning to develop and progress children’s knowledge, skills and understanding of Design and Technology both past and present.

Children’s knowledge and skills will show progression over time.

Most children in all year groups will be working at or above the age related expected standard for Design and Technology.
