Evaluation is an integral part of the design process and allows children to adapt and improve their product, this is a key skill which they need throughout their life. Our design and technology curriculum follows the National Curriculum, promoting the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical growth and development through opportunities and experiences of designing, constructing and making.
