INTENT

We have carefully designed our Design and Technology Curriculum to outline the knowledge and skills pupils gain at each stage of their learning journey, with clear endpoints that guide their progression. The curriculum is thoughtfully sequenced to help pupils build their expertise over time, while maintaining high academic ambition for all. We adapt our approach to meet the diverse needs of all children, ensuring inclusivity and success for every pupil. The curriculum is built around four key components—Design, Make, Evaluate, and Technical Knowledge—that together provide a comprehensive framework for pupils to become innovative, reflective, and capable designers in an ever-changing technological world.

Please see below our curriculum overviews. This includes all the core knowledge and skills your children will be taught along each stage of their design journey.
