These involve designing and making, investigating and evaluating, increasing technical knowledge and cooking and nutrition. From analysing simple, familiar, commercial articles through to completing varied focused practical tasks, our children will improve their understanding of materials, components, mechanisms, structures, control, health and safety and the related vocabulary they will use throughout the process of creating a functional product. ### Design and Technology Curriculum DT Introduction, Intent, Implementation and Impact 948 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/files/documents/Design_and_Technology.pdf) DT Policy 948 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/files/documents/Design_and_Technology_(2).pdf) Art and Design and Design Technology Overview 8 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/files/documents/Design_and_Technology_Overview_25_26.docx) ### Related News ![Image of Year 3 - D.T. - Making Mock Ups Of Seasonal Tarts](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x440c/news/d344f3f2-770a-414a-8e23-407dead4521e.jpg) 11 Nov [2026-11-11-year-3-d-t-making-mock-ups-of-seasonal-tarts](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2026-11-11-year-3-d-t-making-mock-ups-of-seasonal-tarts) #### [Year 3 - D.T. - Making Mock Ups Of Seasonal Tarts](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2026-11-11-year-3-d-t-making-mock-ups-of-seasonal-tarts) ![Image of Year 5 DT - Following a Recipe to Make Bolognese Sauce](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x440c/news/c0e7bb36-cab4-45ba-93f5-8f8b68c50c1e.jpg) 11 Nov [2026-11-11-year-5-dt-following-a-recipe-to-make-bolognese-sauce](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2026-11-11-year-5-dt-following-a-recipe-to-make-bolognese-sauce) #### [Year 5 DT - Following a Recipe to Make Bolognese Sauce](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2026-11-11-year-5-dt-following-a-recipe-to-make-bolognese-sauce) ![Image of Year 1 DT - Designing a pencil pot with a stable base.](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/imagecache/720x440c/news/80268d0b-4c1c-4e9c-b6b6-e9b718f8fd3b(1).jpg) 10 Nov [2026-11-10-year-1-dt-designing-a-pencil-pot-with-a-stable-base](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2026-11-10-year-1-dt-designing-a-pencil-pot-with-a-stable-base) #### [Year 1 DT - Designing a pencil pot with a stable base.](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/2026-11-10-year-1-dt-designing-a-pencil-pot-with-a-stable-base) [View All News](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/news/tag/design-and-technology) ### Curriculum - [Curriculum Overview](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/classes-curriculum/curriculum-overview) - [Useful Resources](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/classes-curriculum/useful-resources) - [British Values and Global Citizenship](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/classes-curriculum/global-citizenship) - ![School Games Gold](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/Gold_Logo_25-26(1).png) - ![Healthy school](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/healthy_school.png) - ![Picture News](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/6_Years_of_Picture_News.png) - ![AP smilestar](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/partners/Screenshot_2026-07-27_10.26.27.png) ##### Location St James Crescent Darwen Lancashire BB3 0EY ##### Contact Us 01254 703260 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Darwenstjames) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/darwenstjames/) © Copyright 2021–2026 Darwen St James’ C of E Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
