Design Technology

At Mayflower Federation Design and Technology is taught in an exciting and engaging way by a specialist teacher. The curriculum is designed to ensure that there is an appropriate progression of knowledge which supports pupils in knowing more and remembering more as Design Technicians. It ensures that there is an appropriate progression of Design and Technology skills which are taught over time through different experiences so that pupils are supported, and challenged, to be the best Design Technicians they can be.  The curriculum equips children about the key aspects of Design and Technology – developing, planning, and communicating ideas; working with tools, equipment, materials and components to make quality products; evaluating processes and products; and identifies designers who underpin specific areas of the curriculum and raise aspirations for pupils. These are underpinned by the concepts of our Design Technology curriculum: Innovate, Technique, Evaluate.
