Design and Technology 

At Mitton Manor, we use the Kapow scheme to support the teaching and learning of Design and Technology. Our aim is to prepare our children to deal with the ever changing world in which we live. To encourage children to become independent, autonomous creative problem solvers, to work as individuals and as part of a team - making positive changes to their quality of life. Design and Technology enables children to identify needs of the consumer and creates opportunities to respond to them by developing a range of ideas and through making products and systems. Through the study of Design and Technology, the children are able to combine practical skills with an understanding of aesthetic, sustainability, as well as functions and production. This allows them to reflect on and evaluate present and past design and technology, its uses and its impacts. 

Design and Technology Highlights

Design and Technology maintains a high profile at our school and as such, we run a cookery club and participate in a STEM Week every academic year. Recent themes have included adaptation in living organisms and the use of electrical circuits in moving toys. In 2024-25, Y5 and Y6 even had the opportunity to design and build air-powered model cars with The Bloodhound Land-speed Record Team who are based in South Gloucestershire.
