Design & Technology

Design and Technology Curriculum Statement

The Design and Technology curriculum at Carlinghow Academy follows the National Curriculum and Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and is linked directly to the topic and text for the half term following a clear progression of skills.

From the Early Years the Design and Technology curriculum is inspiring and practical encouraging pupils to use their creativity and imagination to design and make products that solve real problems within a variety of contexts. Pupils learn through the evaluation of past and present design and develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world.

The curriculum also equips pupils with the knowledge, skills and understanding to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world and understand and apply the principles of nutrition and learn how to cook.

The curriculum ensures that we help to nurture confident, independent, resilient designers.
