Design Technology

At Oldfield we aim to inspire a passion for Design Technology by delivering a rich, practical curriculum rooted in real-world skills. From cooking and nutrition to construction and innovation, our DT teaching equips children with essential life skills and links closely with Science and Computing.

Our local heritage as a rural village influences our approach, celebrating the creativity, problem-solving, and resilience that have long supported our community. With many families working in skilled trades and STEM industries, we see DT as a pathway to future careers.

Each year group enjoys a dedicated Food, Cooking, and Nutrition unit to promote healthy living—an essential focus for our pupils. DT learning is also brought to life through cross-curricular projects and enrichment opportunities.
