Design and Technology

Design and Technology at Selwyn

Curriculum intent

At Selwyn Primary School, our bespoke Design and Technology curriculum is designed to engage, inspire, and challenge pupils, fostering their curiosity as they explore, invent and create a range of high-quality products. Our curriculum encompasses the key areas of structures, mechanical and electrical systems, textiles and food, ensuring children develop a strong foundation in practical and creative problem solving.

Through a carefully sequenced learning journey from Nursery to Year 6, pupils progressively build their resilience and independence as they design, make and evaluate authentic products. They manipulate a variety of materials, develop essential design skills such as drawing, modelling, and CAD (Computer Aided Design) and gain a deeper understanding of structural, mechanical, and electrical systems. Additionally, children cultivate essential cookery skills and nutritional knowledge that support healthy living.

Our ambitious curriculum encourages children to analyse and test existing products, refining their ideas through a process of designing, testing and improving. Bespoke and thoughtfully crafted projects ensure that all pupils are appropriately challenged within a range of contexts. As they master key skills over time, they develop the confidence to work towards ambitious outcomes, preparing them for the challenges of an ever-evolving technological world.

The slides below provide an overview of how we implement our curriculum at school.
