We want our children to engage in practical, ‘design, make and evaluate’ activities which encourage them to use a creative problem-solving approach and the opportunity to amend and improve their ideas. We want to develop our children to be able to work individually and co-operatively, as part of a team, as they tackle real problems and become innovative, resilient learners within the Design and technology curriculum.

In Nursery and Reception, Design and Technology is linked to the specific learning area 'Expressive arts and design'.  In the Early Years, they use a topic approach.

In Year 1 and Year 2, we cover the requirements of the National Curriculum. Design and Technology is taught as a block each term. Our blocks include textiles, food and nutrition, structures and mechanisms.
