Design Technology

At Sutton Oak, our Design and Technology curriculum is practical, enriching, and engaging—designed to inspire pupils to become future engineers, architects, designers, and chefs. We encourage children to use their creativity and imagination to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems in a variety of contexts, always considering their own needs and those of others. Through a carefully sequenced progression of skills and knowledge, pupils develop confidence and capability as they move through school.

We make meaningful cross-curricular links with Maths, Science, and Computing to give purpose and motivation to children’s learning. Our inclusive approach ensures that all pupils, regardless of ability, experience exciting opportunities that reflect their interests and spark innovation. We aim to nurture expressive, confident decision-makers who understand the impact of design and technology on everyday life and the wider world. Ultimately, our goal is to prepare pupils for real-life challenges—equipping them with the creativity, resilience, and resourcefulness, in line with our school values, to thrive beyond their time at Sutton Oak.
