INTENT

At Manor Primary school, through high quality teaching and learning, we will allow children to develop their creativity and imagination through designing, making and evaluating products that solve real and relevant problems. This will be achieved through the topic based curriculum which will allow children to acquire a broader subject knowledge through a risk taking and experimental approach.

IMPLEMENTATION

The aims of the Design and Technology curriculum will be achieved by:

• Developing practical, creative and technical skills needed to take part in an increasingly technological world.
• Building and applying a knowledge, understanding and skills in order to design and make high quality products.
• Testing and evaluating ideas in order to improve own and others products.
• Understanding and using principles of nutrition and using these to learn how to cook.

IMPACT

We will measure impact of this through:

• Monitoring of the curriculum
• Book/planning scrutinies
• Learning walks
• End of unit assessments
• End of year assessments
