The teaching of Design and Technology at Grendon Underwood School follows the statutory guidance of the National Curriculum.  Details of our curriculum can be found below.

In addition to the knowledge and practical skills that children acquire within our curriculum, we also provide opportunities for children to find out about designers within and across a range of professions. 

Design and technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. Using creativity and imagination, pupils design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. They acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and draw on disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art. 

Pupils learn how to take risks, becoming resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. Through the evaluation of past and present design and technology, they develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world. High-quality design and technology education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation.
