Design & Technology

Design and Technology (D&T) in primary schools plays a crucial role in fostering creativity, problem-solving skills and technical knowledge amongst our pupils. This subject combines practical and theoretical learning to support pupils in developing their knowledge around how things work and the history behind products that we use today. 

At Greenways we have designed our own D&T curriculum, using Core Knowledge Overviews to outline the key knowledge and vocabulary we feel our pupils should know as part of the KS1 & KS2 National Curriculum. 

We focus on ensuring our units have a real life purposeful outcome and during the learning process, children have the opportunity to learn how to:

• Investigate and Research (Technical Knowledge) products
• Design products
• Make products
• Evaluate and Develop their products
