--- title: "Design & Technology" url: "https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/design-technology" school: "Holme Community School" --- # Design & Technology ## Design & Technology ### Subject Leader: Miss Brown Design Technology is a subject using creativity and imagination, pupils design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts. Children will take place in six Design Technology themed weeks per year and follow a process of research, design, making and evaluating. Throughout the D&T projects, children will develop life skills such as cooking, woodwork and textiles. ### How was our design & technology curriculum developed? Our curriculum is based on the national curriculum for design technology. Our curriculum is based on the KAPOW scheme of work for design technology, as we liked the step by step approach to the design process and the breadth of opportunities it provides for pupils to be creative and innovate with design. You can find out more about the design technology curriculum [here](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-curriculum-in-england-design-and-technology-programmes-of-study). ### Curriculum Overview DT Curriculum Planning Overview 74 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holme-community-school-2/files/documents/dt-curriculum-planning-overview.pdf) ### Long Term Planning Progression Plan - DT - Cycle A 324 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holme-community-school-2/files/documents/dt-long-term-curriculum-planning-cycle-a-1.pdf) Progression Plan - DT - Cycle B 315 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/holme-community-school-2/files/documents/dt-long-term-curriculum-planning-cycle-b.pdf) ### Curriculum - [Our Curriculum](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/our-curriculum) - [Phonics and Early Reading](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/phonics-and-early-reading) - [Early Years Foundation Stage](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/early-years-foundation-stage) - [English](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/english) - [Mathematics](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/mathematics) - [Science](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/science) - [History](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/history) - [Geography](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/geography) - [Physical Education](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/physical-education) - [Art & Design](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/art-design) - [Design & Technology](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/design-technology) - [Computing](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/computing) - [Music](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/music) - [French](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/french) - [Personal, Social and Health Education (PHSE)](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/personal-social-health-education-phse) - [Religious Education](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/religious-education) - [Enhancing our Curriculum](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/curriculum/enhancing-our-curriculum) ![Holme Community School](https://files.schudio.com/holme-community-school-2/images/logo/imgi_1_logo.png) ### Holme Community School North Road Holme Carnforth LA6 1QA 01524 781205 ### Useful Links - [Admissions](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/admissions) - [Policies](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/policies) - [Term Dates](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/parents/term-dates) - [Contact Us](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/HolmeSchool/) ### Translation © Copyright 2025–2026 Holme Community School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://holmeschool.cumbria.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
