At Co-op Academy Grove, Design and Technology follows the Kapow scheme of work.

Our Design and Technology scheme of work aligns with the National Curriculum through the coverage of several areas: structures, mechanical systems, the digital world, electrical systems, textiles and cooking and nutrition.

We follow a thorough design, make and evaluate process while ensuring that technical knowledge is taught. This aims to inspire children to be innovative and creative thinkers who have an appreciation for the product design cycle through ideation, creations, review and evaluation.

We want pupils to develop the confidence to take risks, through drafting concepts, modelling and testing ideas and to be reflective learners who evaluate their work and the work of others.  Through the scheme of work, we build an awareness of the impact of Design and Technology on our lives and encourage pupils to become resourceful, enterprising citizens who will have the skills and aspirations to contribute to future design achievements.
