At Clapgate the children carry out a Design and Technology project each term, thus covering 3 projects throughout the school year. This allows the children time to research, plan, design, make and evaluate their products over time. The key areas of the Design and Technology curriculum are: mechanisms, structures, food, textiles, mechanical systems and electrical systems. At every opportunity the children are encouraged to create functional products with users and purpose in mind. We offer cross-curricular links to other National Curriculum subjects and foster an iterative process. We endeavour to create designers of the future and want our children to move on to secondary school with a strong Design and Technology skills set and knowledge.
