1. What does D&T look like at All Saints’?

The D&T curriculum is taught following the National Curriculum and is driven by our All Saints' Approach: Engage, Skill-building and Create-Evaluate

Children engage with D&T through exploring the topic in hand. Through a knowledge and skill-building approach, children are able to apply learnt skills to create final products. The skills and knowledge that children develop throughout each D&T topic are mapped across each year group and throughout the school to ensure progression. 

The children are taught skills and given opportunities to practise and develop mastery in the key processes of D&T: engage/explore then design, make/create, and evaluate, utilising technological knowledge and vocabulary. Key skills have been broken down into specific year groups to ensure there is coverage and progression across the school and children can build on their prior learning year-on-year.

Learning is linked to our wider curriculum topics in each year group to ensure relevancy and context. We strive to challenge all children to grow from their starting point, supporting and scaffolding tasks to help every child achieve.
