At Crescent Primary School, we are Masters of Design and Technology! The intent of our Design and Technology curriculum is to enable and encourage children to make links to the real world This will be achieved by exploring, designing, making and evaluating products. All stakeholders recognise that Design and Technology plays an ever-increasing pivotal role in our children’s lives: we know that all our children are surround by and use design and technology based products in their daily lives. We encourage and promote this to ‘Creating Connections’ curriculum driver, recognising that education is a key factor in developing children cultural capital. This is achieved by making links to the real world and how this relates to subjects within STEAM.  

More importantly, our broad and balanced curriculum, supplemented by enrichment and varied extra-curricular activities, provide our children with all the tools to ‘Dream Big’ developing their cultural capital and carefully building their knowledge and skills. Our school community has high percentages of both disadvantaged and SEND children with a rapidly growing number of EAL children: Leaders ensure that inclusivity and accessibility are prioritised. Through our ‘Crescent Values’ curriculum driver, we seek to inspire our children to create links between their subject knowledge to aspects of the real world through aspirations into their lifelong learning and future careers.
