Design Technology
At William Stockton, to ‘get better at ‘Design and Technology’ will mean that children learn to think creatively to solve problems and develop a natural curiosity alongside extending their understanding and skills base. We encourage children to use their creativity and imagination, to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts. Our key strands include: food and nutrition; structures; moving mechanisms; and electrical systems.

I am the DT subject lead at William Stockton. As a staff, we have designed our DT curriculum with our children at the heart.
We are enjoying teaching the Design Technology curriculum to our children based on their previous knowledge and seeing the progressive skills, knowledge and understanding in practice.
We continue to adapt and amend our long term plan responding to our children's needs, the most latest reseach and our findings.
We have agreed on clear end points that includes the core knowledge that, we believe, the children need to achieve well in DT and use the skills that they have been taught efficiently in their everyday life. A broad spectrum of the DT curriculum is delivered in order to accomodate and challenge pupils of all abilities; we adapt our teaching to suit the children's needs.
