Impact and Implementation

Cultural Capital and Design Technology:

• Pupils will develop key knowledge, language and an understanding of its meaning which they can readily apply to their work in DT and across the wider curriculum.
• Pupils will understand the expectations and the outcomes for each unit of work.
• Pupils will develop their perseverance to design, make, test, evaluate and amend their creations, seeing the rewards of sticking at something for its entirety.
• Pupils will develop core, analytical, problem solving and reasoning skills that can be used across the wider curriculum.
• Pupils will develop key life skills such as what makes a balanced diet as well as how to cook healthy staple meals for themselves.

Children will also have the opportunity to:

• Visit buildings and places of interest, for example Durham Cathedral, to look at the architecture.
• Take part in an engineering project to develop a Go cart in Year 6 as well as take part in model making through Meccano Club.
• Take part in young engineer projects.
• Become increasingly familiar with Design career opportunities available in the workplace
