At Paddox Primary School, our Design and Technology curriculum aims to inspire pupils to become creative problem-solvers who can design, make and evaluate products for a range of purposes. Through the Cornerstones Curriculum, pupils develop the technical knowledge, practical skills and resilience needed to design purposeful products and understand how design impacts the wider world.
The curriculum is delivered through a sequenced program of study that integrates practical projects, technical knowledge, and design thinking. Pupils engage in hands-on activities using a range of materials and tools, supported by digital technologies and cross-curricular links to science, maths, and art.
Through the Design and Technology curriculum, students develop resilience, critical thinking, and collaborative skills. They leave with a strong foundation in design principles and practical making, prepared to contribute creatively and responsibly to the world around them. We are able to see the impact thorough a range of assessment. The children will achieve a working towards (WTS) or an expected (EXP).
