Design and Technology
"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Design is knowing which ones to keep." - Scott Adams
At Tooting Primary School (TPS), we follow a combined Art & Design and Design & Technology curriculum created by Kapow, chosen because of the cross- curricular opportunities for teaching and learning which enhance our core subjects. Our curriculum aims to engage children in practical tasks through which they can draw on skills from other subject areas in meaningful and purposeful ways. Our curriculum combines Design and Technological skills with those of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) so that our pupils learn skills for life. Through continued evaluation of their learned skills, our children will increase their resilience, using mistakes as a driver for refinement and excellence. Our curriculum aims to empower teachers to inspire pupils to create, experience and participate.
