Design and Technology

At St Catherine’s C of E Primary School our DT curriculum is based on the six essentials of good practice in D&T. These need to be in place in planning to ensure children’s learning is genuinely design and technological in nature. They are consistent with the National Curriculum requirements and should be applied whenever children are designing and making products: 
 
User   

Purpose    

Functionality    

Design Decisions 

Innovation   

Authenticity

These six essentials are embedded into our DT Curriculum.
