Intent

High-quality Design and Technology education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture and well-being of our pupils here at Stamford Park Primary School. The Design and Technology curriculum combines the acquisition of skills, development of knowledge and the understanding of key concepts to enable children to tackle real world problems. It aims to improve children’s analytical, problem solving, practical capability and evaluation skills. Children are encouraged to become innovators and evaluators.

Links to our values:
Respect – Handling tools and materials safely and valuing the work, ideas, and designs of others.
Cooperation – Working collaboratively when designing, making, and evaluating products.
Consideration – Designing products with the needs of users in mind and considering the purpose of their work.
Resilience – Testing, refining, and improving designs through trial and error.

National Curriculum Alignment:
Our curriculum is designed in line with the Primary National Curriculum to ensure coverage of statutory requirements, progression of knowledge and skills, and preparation for the next stage of education. Pupils develop competence in designing, making, and evaluating, while building technical knowledge and understanding of key concepts in Design and Technology.
