--- title: "Design & Technology" url: "https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/design-and-technology" school: "Selwood Academy" --- # Design & Technology ### DT Subject Vision We are **product developers** ### **Innovative Resourceful Practical** **Innovative:** We encourage pupils to think creatively and design original solutions to real-world problems, embracing innovation in their projects. Pupils use their creativity to approach challenges from unique perspectives and adapting to changing situations with fresh ideas. **Resourceful:** Design and Technology pupils learn to make the best use of available materials, tools, and processes, fostering a resourceful mindset for problem-solving. By making the most of available resources, pupils learn to think on their feet, find alternative solutions, and make informed choices even when options are limited. **Practical:** Through hands-on problem-solving, pupils gain the ability to put their ideas into action effectively, focusing on real-world outcomes and learning from experience to improve. With hands-on projects, pupils apply practical skills, turning ideas into tangible products while gaining experience in design, building, and evaluation. ### Curriculum Map ![](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/images/pages/8bdd35752efc65afa690bddfc1fe6c59.png) ### ### Curriculum overview Curriculum progression Design & Technology 32 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/selwood-academy/files/documents/Curriuclum_progression_Technology.docx) ### Click on the Year Groups below to see our: Delicious Recipes: ### Year 5 - (Coming Soon) ### [Year 6](https://files.schudio.com/selwood-academy/files/documents/Year_6_Snackbar_Recipe.pdf) ### [Year 7](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/files/Y7__recipe_booklet.pdf) ### [Year 8](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/files/Y8__recipe_booklet.pdf) ### Curriculum - [Curriculum Overview](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/curriculum-overview) - [SATs Support ](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/sats) - [Subjects](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects) - [Art](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/art) - [Computing](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/computing) - [Design & Technology](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/design-and-technology) - [Drama](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/drama) - [English](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/english) - [Geography](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/geography) - [History](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/history) - [Mathematics](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/mathematics) - [Languages](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/modern-foreign-languages) - [Music](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/music) - [PASHE](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/pashe) - [Physical Education](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/pe) - [Religion & Philosophy](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/religion-philosophy) - [Science](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/subjects/science) - [Homework](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/homework) - [Google Classroom](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/google-classroom) - [British Values](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/british-values) - [Special Educational Needs](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/special-educational-needs) - [School Productions](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/parents/school-productions) - [Most Able and The Shine Initiative](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/parents/most-able-and-the-shine-initiative) - [Careers](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/careers) - [Oracy Curriculum](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/curriculum/oracy-curriculum) ![Selwood Academy](https://files.schudio.com/selwood-academy/images/logo/Logo_No_Type.png) #### Selwood Academy Berkley Rd Frome Somerset BA11 2EF 01373 462798 #### Useful Links: - [Parent's Evening](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/parents/useful-information/parent-s-evening-booking) - [Parent's Letter](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/parents/letters) - [New Parents/Carers](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/parents/new-parents-carers) - [Lettings and 3G Pitch](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/Lettings-and-3G-Pitch) - [Vacancies](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/job-vacancies) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Selwood-Academy-Frome-466714163402515) - [X](https://twitter.com/SelwoodAcademy) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSJiQAiBYSOgiwJVxH-PQjw) © Copyright 2018–2026 Selwood Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://selwood.somerset.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
