Design & Technology

At Cherry Fold we aim to develop in each of its pupils practical problem solving skills that can be applied to a wide range of contexts, ability to use a range of tools, materials and equipment and progress through skills, knowledge and understanding of D&T. We hope to achieve our aims through developing D&T capability in line with the National Curriculum requirements in conjunction with the school’s D&T creative curriculum. Provide meaningful assignments that allow children to contribute through their ideas in discussions and planning when appropriate from the familiar to the unfamiliar. Provide learning situations, which reflect different social, cultural, economic, historical, environmental and moral contexts, with links to ideas and materials across the world where appropriate. The provision of a safe working environment and allow opportunities to evaluate and discuss peer produced products. Make cross-curricular links where appropriate and develop the children's knowledge of the different food groups and different healthy options.
