Curriculum Intent
At Ark Evelyn Grace Academy we aim to inspire students to design, make, evaluate and test products to solve real world problems that occur in our daily lives. Design and Technlogy brings together a number of different disciplines and is therefore taught across a range of subjects. Across these multiple disciplinary areas in lessons and specialist sessions students will develp technical skills and nutrional knowledge and plan, investigate, develop and evaluate ideas so that they are well equipped to be the voice of their future.
