Design & Technology
Design & Technology is delivered through the CUSP curriculum. Each block covers a particular set of disciplines, including food and nutrition, mechanisms, structures, systems, electrical systems, understanding materials and textiles. Vertical progression in each discipline has been deliberately woven into the fabric of the curriculum so that pupils revisit key disciplines throughout their primary journey at increasing degrees of challenge and complexity.
Working as a designer:
- Design: The art or process of deciding how something will look or work.
- Make: Create something by combining materials or putting parts together.
- Evaluate: Form an opinion of the value or quality of something after careful thought.
- Apply: Use something or make something work in a particular situation.
