  • Design and Technology

    At St. Joseph's we use Kapow Primary, an award winning programme of study, for the teaching and learning of Design and Technology. 

    We ensure that the following skills and knowledge are taught:

    • Cooking and nutrition
    • Textiles
    • Structures
    • Mechanical systems
    • Digital world
    • Electrical systems

    The Design and technology National Curriculum outlines the three main stages of the design process: design, make and evaluate. Each unit we teach follows these stages, to form a full project. Each stage of the design process is underpinned by technical knowledge which encompasses the contextual, historical and technical understanding, required for each strand.
