Design and Technology: Programme of Study for Key Stage Three and Attainment Target 2007

Following a major overhaul of the entire National Curriculum at Key Stage Three, the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority produced a version for design and technology with a structure consistent with other subjects. There were no changes to the other Key Stages, so the Attainment Targets (AT) and Programme of Study (PoS) for Key Stages One and Two remained the same as the 1999 version, and the PoS for Key Stage Four remained the same as the 2004 version.

Components
The curriculum is presented in separate sections:
*Key concepts: Designing and making, Cultural understanding, Creativity, Critical evaluation
*Key processes
*Range and content: Designing and making in the context of food, resistant materials, textiles, systems and control
*Curriculum opportunities
*Attainment targets – from Levels 4 to 8 and Exceptional Performance
