--- title: "Design and Technology" url: "https://fulwoodstpeters.co.uk/curriculum/design-and-technology" school: "Fulwood, St Peter's Church of England Primary School and Nursery" --- # Design and Technology ## Curriculum Design At Fulwood St. Peter’s we offer a challenging and engaging curriculum that is rigorously taught through the four areas of design development to motivate our pupils. Children's knowledge is assessed at the start of particular units in order to see if this has been embedded in previous year groups. This ensures lessons are sequenced and built upon what has previously been learnt. Teaching strategies are used in lessons to regularly check the children's knowledge using growth mindset strategies. We reveal the careers and industries which link our knowledge and skills to the wider world allowing pupils to solve relevant problems from the **real-life**. Pupils are challenged to use their technical knowledge to practically create the visions of their imagination. The stages of design incorporate **choice** and are undertaken **independently** and provide the opportunity to build emotional well-being and give every pupil the opportunity to achieve their full-potential. Children are encouraged to research current designs through the use of ICT and reading. The evaluation stage of design is undertaken with the choice of **independently** or with peers in **team learning** so that the pupils have the chance to explore alternative perspectives and further develop **in-depth** technical knowledge through collaborative discussion and learning. Assessment - Childrens' knowledge is assessed at the start of particular units in order to see if this has been embedded in previous year groups. This will ensure lessons are sequenced and built upon what has previously been learnt. Teaching strategies are used in lessons to regularly check the children's knowledge using growth mindset strategies. Adaptations are made to suit children of all abilities and support is given where possible.
