The aim of our D.T. curriculum at Baden-Powell is to support each and every child’s understanding of their place in the diverse world in which they live; to enthuse and inspire all children by challenging them both intellectually and creatively; to learn about the design process and the significance of each stage, both for their own creations and for those in the wider world; to appreciate the skills and techniques required when designing; to encourage innovation, imagination and creativity; and to see the importance of our school values of Respect, Friendship, Compassion, Aspiration and Resilience as they do so. 

The knowledge and skills that we have chosen to include in our D.T. curriculum derive directly from the objectives set out in the National Curriculum (2014).

Lastly, we aim to highlight three substantive concepts which we consider to be integral to the subject of D.T. – Safety, Innovation and Invention and Sustainability.  We weave these ideas throughout our topics to further increase the relevance and real-world application of the learning the children encounter.
