![]() ![]() The schemes of work we use are called “Building a food repertoire” and “Principles of nutrition and Health”. ![]() ![]() Practical work is usually once a fortnight, where students learn to prepare and cook different food dishes. We learn to use our senses of taste and smell with various food items. In years 7 and 8 the students learn about food nutrients and why we need these nutrients for our health and wellbeing. Key Stage Three students follow schemes of work that develop and explore new skills in three key technology areas –Graphic design, Food technology and Textiles – via a planned cycle that covers the National Curriculum for Design and Technology requirements. To value the work of all students, using assessment as a means to monitor student progress.To enable students to combine their designing and making skills with knowledge and understanding, in order to design, make, analyse and evaluate products of high quality.To link too many different curriculum areas in order to develop a set of transferable skills they can enjoy in school and use in their future working lives.To establish a safe learning environment which is conducive to learning, is stimulating, imaginative and relaxed where students feel supported and secure.Students must learn about the social and ethical responsibilities of designers and engineers and the importance of managing finite resources with care. At the heart of this, is the desire to deliver a curriculum in which students produce high quality outcomes. This is achieved through imaginative teaching that embraces new technologies and resembles modern industrial processes, whilst retaining the best of traditional practices. The department firmly believes that students learn best by ‘doing’ and by allowing them to experiment and take risks, in a safe and positive learning environment. We aim to ensure that learners develop technical and practical competencies as well as the wider skills valued by employers. Our main priority is for students to be problem solvers who are not afraid of making mistakes. We hope our students will become responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society. One which will allow students to become self-motivated and confident learners, who can work independently and as part of a team. The Design and Technology department at Queen Katharine Academy are committed to delivering a curriculum accessible to all which provides the broadest possible range of opportunities for students. ![]()
