Design and Technology Curriculum Intent

At Nene Valley Primary School, our Design and Technology curriculum has been carefully designed and sequenced to enable our children to become innovative and creative thinkers. Our children have a clear understanding of the product design cycle: design, make and evaluate, with our children taking ownership of their learning. Our well sequenced curriculum allows the acquisition of knowledge and skill to build year on year. 

Our children become increasingly competent through; drafting design concepts, modelling and testing ideas, our children are able to take risks and build resilience, as well as develop as reflective learners, who effectively evaluate their work and the work of others.  By building an awareness of the impact that design and technology has on daily life and the wider world, we aim to ignite each child’s curiosity so that they feel equipped and inspired to contribute to our increasingly technological world.
