Design and Technology
Design and Technology is an inspiring, rigorous and practical subject. Using creativity and imagination, our pupils at Harris Primary Academy Beckenham design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. The Design and Technology curriculum has been updated to make sure that it follows the new National Curriculum so that the new skills are covered.
