Design & Technology

Design and Technology

At Easington Church of England Primary Academy our curriculum is designed to: inspire enthusiasm for learning, build on achievement and support pupil well-being and happiness to allow our learners a safe environment within which to flourish.

As a Church of England school, Christian values underpin all that we do. We provide a rich and stimulating learning environment based on our four core Christian values of :

Thankfulness, Respect, Compassion and Friendship

We recognise that we are educating children for an unrecognisable future and in order to be prepared for this we identified the following golden threads which are woven throughout our broad and balanced Curriculum:

Our Golden Threads through our curriculum

Foster curiosity.

Learn to disagree respectfully.

Be open to another way.

Find your wonderful – ambition and self worth

Within our inclusive environment our curriculum allows all children to ensure that Equity, Curiosity and Ambition are nurtured.

“A community working in harmony to achieve our God – given potential.”

…It is inspired by John 10:10:

“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

Through our Easington design and technology curriculum, we aim for pupils to  develop new skills, build confidence  when using tools and be able to apply these to practical tasks. The children will be given opportunities to follow an iterative design process where they will  make relevant and unique products that  achieve a purposeful outcome. 

We build opportunities for pupils to impose their own creativity, ingenuity and interests into their design projects  and consider how their design might add value and impact to the world. Practical cross  curricular skills will be mastered across a range of design methods.  Pupils will take inspiration from existing products and  have an understanding  of the importance of design historically  and know that innovative design makes essential  contributions to the improvements of lives.
