Sellindge School DT curriculum
Through creative and practical activities we intend for pupils to learn technical knowledge and are taught to design, make, evaluate through a range of work in relevant contexts such as: the home and school, gardens and playgrounds, the local community, industry and the wider environment. As part of food technology, pupils will be taught how to cook; apply the principles of nutrition and healthy eating as well as preparing a budget; this will help them throughout their entire lives.
