Design and Technology

At The Willows Primary School, our Design and Technology curriculum is built around the National Curriculum. Each topic has been planned using a progressive and sequenced approach as children move through the year groups. Our curriculum has been designed to provide opportunities for children to regularly revisit and recap their knowledge and skills, enabling them to know more, remember more and apply more as they progress through school.

Our DT curriculum will develop our children’s skills and knowledge in the following areas:

·        Mechanisms

·        Structures

·        Textiles

·        Electrical systems

·        Cooking and nutrition.

 There is a strong focus on researching, designing, making and evaluating to support our children in developing creativity and an ability to learn and apply technical and practical expertise in a variety of situations at high school and beyond.
