Curriculum Intent
At Sandhurst Primary School we are delighted to have the facilities to offer a fully comprehensive and inclusive design technology curriculum which provides a huge variety of skills development opportunities that are outlined in the National Curriculum of which we are very proud.

Children are taught the key skills that are essential to the design process: designing, planning, making and evaluating. Within each year group children have practical opportunities to master each skill throughout the project. Furthermore, children will be taught the knowledge of how to create and improve their designs, with opportunities to reflect on the process and make improvements.

We are delighted to have the facilities to offer food technology which is based around our Cornerstones Curriculum. We have invested time and resources to developing this part of our DT to ensure children have the greatest opportunities to learn about a balanced diet, preparing ingredients, food safety and hygiene, and preparing and cooking basic recipes.

Where possible, our design technology projects complement our main termly teaching topics. This may be our overarching topic, however, it may link more directly with our science particularly where food and seasonal changes align.

Cornerstones Curriculum

We provide a creative curriculum based around the Cornerstones Curriculum, a nationally recognised approach for delivering outstanding learning opportunities for children.

What is the Cornerstones Curriculum?

The Cornerstones Curriculum is a creative and thematic approach to learning that is mapped to the Primary National Curriculum to ensure comprehensive coverage of national expectations. Our new curriculum will be delivered through Imaginative Learning Projects (ILPs) which will provide a rich menu of exciting and motivating learning activities that make creative links between all aspects of our children’s learning.

We believe children learn better when they are encouraged to use their imagination and apply their learning to engaging contexts. Our new curriculum will provide lots of learning challenges throughout the academic year that will require children to solve problems, apply themselves creatively and express their knowledge and understanding effectively across the curriculum.

Cornerstones also provide a rigorous essential skills framework that outlines the end of year expectations in all subjects. These essential skills are tied to activities and are age related so that staff can track children’s progress and identify their individual learning needs.

How it Works?

Children will progress through four stages of learning in each ILP – Engage, Develop, Innovate and Express. To find out more about these stages please click on the link through to Cornerstones website:
