At Hasmonean Primary School the Design and Technology Curriculum intends to inspire the pupils’ creativity and innovation, giving them the opportunity to develop skills, knowledge and understanding of the design process, and to apply this through the creation of functional products.

We are guided by the Kapow scheme and we aim to ensure that pupils explore the practicalities of design, making direct reference to, mechanisms, electrical controls and textiles. We also have a separate unit running in the Spring Term on nutrition.

Pupils are encouraged to think creatively and to understand how design works , reflecting on their work after to see how it can be improved. As their understanding increases across the year groups we aim to ensure that the pupils are able to gain on their experiences to become more innovative and creative going forwards.

We aim that our pupils will learn how innovations in design and technology have shaped our history, and we want them to be resourceful adults going into the future ready to be able to  design and make products that also attempt to solve real problems.
