D & T

At Ashtree Primary Academy, we believe that an engaging Design and Technology education supports the holistic development of the child.

Our exciting curriculum teaches pupils about: Textiles, Structures & Construction, Electrical Systems, Mechanisms, and Cooking & Nutrition. Pupils make links in D&T to the Maths and Science learning and enjoy curriculum enhancements such as, Food and Farming Day at Hertfordshire County Showground.
