Implementation
We follow the National Curriculum for DT. The National Curriculum sets out the statutory programmes of study for each key stage. It is progressive and learning builds throughout the years.

We have had several careers assemblies that have included people who studied or use DT for their careers including a historical reenactor who makes all her own costumes using needlework skills.
