Using creativity and imagination, pupils design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values. They acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and draw on disciplines such as mathematics, science, engineering, computing and art. Pupils learn how to take risks, becoming resourceful, innovative, enterprising and capable citizens. Through the evaluation of past and present design and technology, they develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world. High-quality design and technology education makes an essential contribution to the creativity, culture, wealth and well-being of the nation. “There’s no learning without trying lots of ideas and failing lots of times” Sir Jonathan Ive ### Design and Technology D&T Policy 263 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/easterside-academy-2/files/documents/DT_Policy.docx) D&T Road Map Cycle 1 7.89 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/easterside-academy-2/files/documents/Whole_School_DT_Road_Map_C1_NEW_1.docx) D&T KS1 Medium Term Plan Cycle 1 585 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/easterside-academy-2/files/documents/DT_Subject_Overview_24_25_KS1_Cycle_1.docx) D&T KS1 Medium Term Plan Cycle 2 1.10 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/easterside-academy-2/files/documents/DT_Subject_Overview_24_25_KS1_Cycle_2.docx) D&T LKS2 Medium Term Plan Cycle 1 1.10 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/easterside-academy-2/files/documents/DT_Subject_Overview_24_25_LKS2_Cycle_1.docx) D&T LKS2 Medium Term Plan Cycle 2 591 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/easterside-academy-2/files/documents/DT_Subject_Overview_24_25_LKS2_Cycle_2.docx) D&T UKS2 Medium Term Plan Cycle 1 1.10 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/easterside-academy-2/files/documents/DT_Subject_Overview_24_25_UKS2_Cycle_1_-_Copy.docx) D&T UKS2 Medium Term Plan Cycle 2 1.10 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/easterside-academy-2/files/documents/DT_Subject_Overview_24_25_UKS2_Cycle_2.docx) [Embedded content](https://plugins.flockler.com/embed/iframe/17f0326f40b09bcfa6fcdd9f924102c5/18438064f510160e5f2277a5d7fc51ae) ### Curriculum - [Overview](https://eastersideacademy.co.uk/curriculum/overview) - [Early Years](https://eastersideacademy.co.uk/curriculum/early-years) - [English](https://eastersideacademy.co.uk/curriculum/english) - [Maths](https://eastersideacademy.co.uk/curriculum/maths) - [Science](https://eastersideacademy.co.uk/curriculum/science) - [Wider Curriculum](https://eastersideacademy.co.uk/curriculum/wider-curriculum) - [Learning Outside The Classroom](https://eastersideacademy.co.uk/curriculum/lotc) - [High Needs Base](https://eastersideacademy.co.uk/curriculum/high-needs-base) - [Online Behaviour & Safety](https://eastersideacademy.co.uk/curriculum/online-behaviour-and-safety) - [Personal Development and Wellbeing](https://eastersideacademy.co.uk/curriculum/personal-development-and-wellbeing) ![Easterside Academy](https://files.schudio.com/easterside-academy-2/images/logo/Easterside-Logo(1).png) ### Easterside Academy Erith Grove Easterside Middlesbrough TS4 3RG 01642 273006 © Copyright 2026 Easterside Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://eastersideacademy.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
