Design and Technology

At Middlewich Primary School, we use Kapow Primary to deliver our Design and Technology (D&T) lessons across the school. Through hands-on activities, students learn how to design, create, and evaluate several different products. Our D&T curriculum is structured to allow progression in knowledge and development of key skills throughout their time at school.
