Data and Performance
How do we ensure your child is receiving the very best education possible?
​
As a new academy school, we have not yet been inspected by Ofsted and MANY changes have occurred since the last inspection in January 2017, which can be viewed here.
We have a robust self-evaluation system in place and constantly strive for excellence.
Our staff are highly motivated in making our school a hub for learning where all children are able to achieve.

Our Goals
​
Through our structured DT curriculum, we encourage pupils to design, make, and evaluate products with growing independence. Children develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills, exploring a variety of materials, techniques, and technologies. By engaging with real-world challenges, pupils learn to think creatively, collaborate effectively, and apply their knowledge to purposeful projects..
​
Why Design and Technology Matters
​
Design and Technology fosters creativity, practical skills, and innovation. Children learn to approach challenges methodically, consider the needs of users, and create solutions that have real-world applications. These experiences build confidence, teamwork, and critical thinking, equipping pupils with skills that will benefit them throughout school and beyond.
​
Our Design and Technology Curriculum
​
Design and Technology is taught through thematic units that integrate practical skills, creative thinking, and subject knowledge. Units include problem-solving projects and hands-on activities that encourage exploration, experimentation, and teamwork. Our curriculum ensures a clear progression of skills across the school.
​
How Design and Technology is Taught
​
Lessons combine skill development, design thinking, and practical “design and make” projects. Pupils explore a range of materials and techniques, including food technology, mechanisms, textiles, structures, and electronics.
​
What We Learn
​
Pupils study and create using:
-
Mechanisms, sliders, and levers
-
Structures and textiles
-
Food technology
-
Electronics
Children complete DT projects for specific “clients” or challenges, allowing them to experiment, evaluate, and refine their designs before producing final pieces.
Supporting Every Learner
​
Our DT curriculum is inclusive. Adaptations for pupils with SEND or additional needs include sensory activities with varied textures (fabric, wood, clay), visual step-by-step guides, structured templates, and collaborative projects. These ensure all children can engage fully, build confidence, and develop problem-solving and creative skills.
Pupil Voice
“The things that we create are fun and we can add our own personal touches!”
​
“I enjoyed tasting everyone’s Full of Beans creations and seeing how different they all were.”
​
“We made prototypes of our zoetropes, which helped us make our final piece even better.”
​
“I learned how small changes in my catapult could make it go farther—it felt like real engineering!”
