Rationale

In Design and Technology, pupils will investigate, design, make and evaluate products that solve real-life problems or problems presented to them as part of learning.

There are five strands within our curriculum: cooking and nutrition; mechanical systems; textiles; electrical systems; structures.

Across these strands, pupils will use a range of   tools, materials and processes, developing their technical understanding. They will apply skills from mathematics, science, computing and art and will be encouraged to problem solve, think critically, use their imaginations and innovate.
