Stechford Primary School

At Stechford Primary School we provide a high-quality Design and Technology education which enables our pupils to develop an enthusiasm for Design and Technology, whilst ensuring we fulfil the aims of the National Curriculum. This is achieved through using the Kapow Primary’s Design and Technlogy scheme. 

We have identified four key strands which run throughout our scheme of work:

1. Design
2. Make 
3. Evaluate 
4. Technical Knowledge

The national curriculum Programme of study for Design and technology aims to ensure that all pupils:

• develop the creative, technical and practical expertise needed to perform everyday tasks confidently and to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world.
• build and apply a repertoire of knowledge, understanding and skills in order to design and make high-quality prototypes and products for a wide range of users.
• critique, evaluate and test their ideas and products and the work of others.
• understand and apply the principles of nutrition and learn how to cook.

In EYFS, design and technology is taught through the specific area of learning and development; expressive arts and design. This is delivered through using the Kapow Primary  Design and Technmology scheme and through exploration and child-initiated play.
