Oakfield Primary Academy
Design Technology
At Oakfield Primary Academy, our inspiring and practical curriculum allows children to evaluate past and present Design and Technology, to give them a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world. Children will apply a repertoire of Design and Technology knowledge, understanding and skills to creatively and imaginatively design and make high quality products, whilst critically evaluating and testing their ideas. Their creations will solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, taking into consideration the needs, wants and values of a wide range of users. Children will be given the opportunity to draw on other subject disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art. Through Design and Technology, children will learn how to take risks and become innovative, resourceful and enterprising. They will be able to perform everyday Design and Technology tasks and be prepared to successfully participate in an increasingly technological world. Children will learn how to cook, whilst applying the principles of nutrition and healthy eating.
