At Michael’s CE Primary School design and technology has a key part to play in our curriculum and utilises knowledge and skills from other subject areas such as science, computing, maths, art and engineering. 

Design and technology is taught throughout the year and children will leave St Mike’s being able to inventively design, make, test, evaluate and improve their intended products with care and creativity. 

Children’s skills are developed through creativity where they design, make and evaluate products to solve real and relevant problems. They have to take the context into consideration as well as the wants and needs of themselves and others, often drawing on inspiration from famous inventors. 

Cooking and nutrition is an important part of design and technology. The children learn about a balanced diet and making healthy lifestyle choices, resulting in strong cross-curricular links with PE and Science. Children are taught key food technology skills, equipping them for the future.
