Our Design and Technology Curriculum

At Medstead, our learning in design and technology is based on the Kapow Primary design technology scheme of work. This aims to inspire pupils to be innovative and creative thinkers who have an appreciation for the product design cycle through ideation, creation, and evaluation. We want pupils to develop the confidence to take risks, through drafting design concepts, modelling, and testing and to be reflective learners who evaluate their work and the work of others. 

The aims of our design and technology scheme of work align with those in the national curriculum and enable pupils to meet the end of key stage 1 and 2 attainment targets in the national curriculum. Through the scheme of work, we aim to build an awareness of the impact of design and technology on our lives and encourage pupils to become resourceful, enterprising citizens who will have the skills to contribute to future design advancements.
