At Ashby Hill Top Primary School, we aim to provide a Design and Technology curriculum that is enjoyable, creative, relevant and evolving. The teaching of the Design and Technology Curriculum is based on the National Curriculum expectations. It is taught through specific projects which follow the iterative process of design, make, evaluate. Where appropriate, links are made to other curriculum areas and topics enabling pupils to meet key knowledge in different contexts and subjects.
We provide students with a clear and progressive framework, building on past experiences and developing skills for the next stage of their education. The knowledge and skills students require in order to progress is at the heart of our curriculum. Our progression grids give a clear outline of the skills taught in each phase (EYFS, KS1, LKS2, UKS2). The continuity across this document ensures that past experiences are built upon. Children are given the opportunity to reflect on previous techniques, discuss their prior knowledge on materials and revisit vocabulary.
Our Design and Technology curriculum looks at the intention and use of structures, mechanisms, electrical systems, and different materials including food. As pupils gain experience in these areas they can begin to make their own informed choices as to which materials, systems and joining techniques are most appropriate to the design brief. Alongside this, children will have the opportunity to explore and evaluate the impact of past and present design technology and key figures in the industry, giving them an understanding of the wider impact that good design technology has on the world. During Design and Technology at Ashby Hill Top we encourage our students to:
