Greenmount implements DT within its curriculum by:
Learning and building on a range of practical and technical skills, testing their ideas and critiquing and evaluating both their own products and the work of others
Evaluating past and present products to develop a critical understanding of DTs impact on daily life and the wider world
KS2 children will focus on designers and events that have shaped the world enabling them to gain a deeper understanding of the skills and traits of a successful designer.
The impact of this is:
Pupils will be competent designers and develop an interest and a love of DT. This will enable them to be effective learners throughout their journey at Greenmount and to be fully prepared for the next stage of their technology education.
