Growing Stronger Together in God's Love

At All Saints’ Primary school, we believe that our role is to support the development of the whole child in all that we do at school; offering them rich and meaningful experiences that will help them build a secure foundation for their learning. We recognise that D&T is a vital part of this development and has a significant and valuable role in the taught curriculum.

Fostering our children’s creativity and engagement is an essential element in their ability to succeed; we know it improves their motivation, well-being and achievement not only academically, but also socially, emotionally and culturally.

We recognise that D&T supports the development of children’s resilience, independence and risk-taking as children are encouraged to explore the different techniques and apply this in their own work. We want our D&T provision to enable pupils to develop a natural sense of creativity, wonder and curiosity about the world and allow them a means to express and communicate this for themselves.

At All Saints’ Primary school, we offer an inspiring and practical approach to a varied Design and Technology curriculum where our pupils develop a deeper understanding of technical and creative design to construct purposeful products. They acquire a broad range of skills and knowledge to design, create and evaluate ideas, whilst gaining an increased understanding of the technological world. Our Design and Technology curriculum incorporates knowledge from the wider curriculum areas. Each year, children also build upon their knowledge of nutrition and basic cookery skills, applying principles of understanding the importance of a balanced and varied diet.
