--- title: "D&T" url: "https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/our-inspiring-curriculum/stem/d-t" school: "Waterside Primary School" --- # D&T At Waterside Primary School, our Design and Technology curriculum enhances and strengthens children’s creativity. Children will develop skills needed to perform daily tasks confidently which will enable them to grow through learning and experience in an increasingly technological world. The curriculum stimulates imagination and provides practical hands-on experience. Through the Design and Technology curriculum, children will be inspired by engineers, designers, chefs and architects to enable them to design and create a range of structures, mechanisms, textiles, electrical systems and food products with a real-life purpose, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. Children will be given the opportunities to critique, evaluate and test their own and others’ products. Children will also learn how to cook, understanding and applying their knowledge of nutrition. **D&T Leader: Miss M Olenczuk** - D&T Overview - D&T Curriculum ### DT Curriculum Overview DT Overview 5.67 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/files/documents/DT-_Curriculum_Overview_2024-2025.pptx) DT - Subject on a Page 383 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/files/documents/III_Plan_-_Design_and_Technology_.pdf) Progression of Skill - DT 2.82 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/files/documents/DT_-_Progression_of_skills.pdf) Progression of Knowledge - DT 2.07 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/files/documents/DT_-_Progression_of_knowledge.pdf) ### Related Blog Posts [2024-12-18-12-02-00-fabric-faces](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/2024-12-18-12-02-00-fabric-faces)18 December 2024 #### [Fabric Faces!](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/2024-12-18-12-02-00-fabric-faces) [2024-11-06-20-12-00-exploring-global-ingredients](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/2024-11-06-20-12-00-exploring-global-ingredients)6 November 2024 #### [Exploring global ingredients!](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/2024-11-06-20-12-00-exploring-global-ingredients) [2024-05-13-15-00-00-fruit-salad](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/2024-05-13-15-00-00-fruit-salad)13 May 2024 #### [Fruit salad ](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/2024-05-13-15-00-00-fruit-salad) [View All Posts](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/index/tag:dt) ### Learning for Life - [Our Inspiring Curriculum](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/our-inspiring-curriculum/our-inspiring-curriculum) - [Literacy and Language](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/our-inspiring-curriculum/english) - [Humanities](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/our-inspiring-curriculum/humanities) - [STEM](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/our-inspiring-curriculum/stem) - [STEM](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/our-inspiring-curriculum/stem) - [Maths](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/our-inspiring-curriculum/stem/maths) - [Science](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/our-inspiring-curriculum/stem/science) - [Computing](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/our-inspiring-curriculum/stem/computing) - [Design and Technology](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/our-inspiring-curriculum/stem/d-t) - [Creative Arts](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/our-inspiring-curriculum/creative-arts) - [Personal Development](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/our-inspiring-curriculum/personal-development) - [Enrichment](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/our-inspiring-curriculum/enrichment) [Embedded content](https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2400.0541310576964!2d-2.170451783858812!3d53.01938987991181!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x487a69d4086c0711%3A0x19262908cd9219d0!2sWaterside%20Primary%20School!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1670583840226!5m2!1sen!2suk) ![Waterside Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/images/logo/waterside-logo-2-footer.png) **Waterside Primary School** Eastwood Road Stoke on Trent ST1 3JS Tel: 01782 234630 Email: [![Shaw Education Trust](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/images/logo/set-misc/footer-logo-v1.png)](https://shaw-education.org.uk) **Shaw Education Trust** Kidsgrove Secondary School Gloucester Road Kidsgrove ST7 4DL VAT: GB 358822467 Tel: 01782 948259 Email: Company Number: 09067175 ### Newsletter ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Waterside-Primary/61559202505677/) - [X](https://twitter.com/watersidestoke) © Copyright 2022–2026 Waterside Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
