Design and Technology

At Lanesend Primary School, we want to equip our children with the skills and creativity required to change the world. They must use their Maths, Science and Design Technology skills in order to understand computing systems. We want them to be digitally literate on a range of systems so they can be active participants in the digital world. Developing digital resilience is a key aspect of our curriculum, encouraging our children to embrace challenges and build resilience to find answers to problems. We want our children to love computing allowing them to thrive in the modern digital world inspiring the next computer scientists. Lanesend Primary School’s curriculum is based on Kapow, providing a progressive sequence of learning which develops children’s theoretical, practical and disciplinary knowledge. Through these three domains of knowledge, children will build their competence in coding for a variety of practical and inventive purposes, learn about the importance of online safety and net etiquette, use applications and devices in cross curricular lessons and build the ability to collect, organise and manipulate data effectively.
