Belvidere Design and Technology Curriculum
At Belvidere we use Projects on a Page ( The Design and Technology Association) as our progressive scheme of work.
In D&T there are two strands of subject content: designing and making, and cooking and nutrition. As well as addressing the subject content for KS1 and 2, Projects on a Page reflects the purpose of study and meets the aims in a way that is appropriate to children’s ages. Process and breadth are at the heart of Projects on a Page with the designing and making process included in the programmes of study.
The Belvidere scheme of work ensures children design, make and evaluate products using the broad range of materials and components specified in the statutory requirements. These include construction materials, textiles, food, mechanical components and, in Key Stage 2 only, electrical components.
