At Winterton Community Academy, the National Curriculum is at the heart of our Design and Technology programme of study.
Our intent is to design a curriculum, which is carefully mapped to provide pupils with the skills and knowledge. This will allow them to access a range of creative activities to build on learning, which will form a path to courses at Key Stage 4.
With our inclusive approach and high aspirations, we will provide opportunities for all learners, regardless of context, to thrive in the Design, Engineering, Catering and Technology industries.
We aim to provide pupils with experiences, that will enrich and inspire them creatively and give them cultural capital to become essential policy makers, thinkers and creative minds, which will share our world.
Our Design and Technology curriculum is underpinned by the academy’s values of ‘Respect, Positivity and Hard Work’.
Through the Design Technology education, we aim to broaden our pupils’ emotional and multicultural awareness, developing values and building respect and tolerance through the study Design considering user needs.
We aim to equip students with essential practical skills and Design Technology application, alongside developing the range and fluency of subject vocabulary.
