Design and Technology at St Peter’s
At St Peter’s, we intend to establish a Design and Technology curriculum that is inspiring, rigorous, and carefully sequenced, equipping pupils with a wide range of practical skills. We follow the nationally recognised Project on a Page scheme, which provides a structured approach to teaching DT from EYFS through to Year 6.
Our aim is for children to work innovatively to design and make purposeful products that solve real and relevant problems with a clear user in mind. We want pupils to have the confidence to make mistakes and develop resilience by solving problems that arise, whether they are working with mechanisms, structures, food, textiles, or electrical systems. Children are inspired by engineers, designers, and chefs, and we create strong cross-curricular links with Maths, Science, Art and Design, Computing, Geography, History, and PSHE.
Through our DT provision, we intend for children to flourish—becoming resourceful, enterprising, and ready for their next step of education.
When appropriate, we will include external visitors, allied professionals and local visits to enhance the learning.
