Year 7: Curriculum Intent During year 7 the focus is on knowing designers and their influence on how their ideas have shaped the world and be able to develop a range of ideas. As a result, the students will develop a creative flare and then create products using a range of hand tools and some machinery with a keen focus on health and safety. | ||
Year 7 Essential Knowledge Summary | ||
Schemata 1: Product design | Schemata 2: Electronics | Schemata 3: Food technology |

Component Knowledge: Foundational Knowledge: Declarative Knowledge: Be able to mark, measure and shape a product to a desired outcome. Work safely and complete work to the good quality outcome. Be able to read and identify key words and identify key facts of a designer. Procedural Knowledge: Reflect on reading to explain their opinion of a product, be able to describe key characteristics. Be able to work independently and safely to create a product that is safe to use. Can identify the three groups of woods and provide an example of use for each. Upper Hierarchical Knowledge: Can create their own opinion on the artist work. Able to work independently in the workshop and share their knowledge with others verbally. Can improve or make suggestions of how the product can be modified. Be able to solve issues and evaluate their own idea with modifications or improvements. | Composite Knowledge: Pupils will learn about the input, process and output of electronics components. They will also have an in-depth introduction to health and safety in an electronics room. Component Knowledge: Foundational Knowledge: Declarative Knowledge: Understand how different components have different functions in a circuit. Be able to articulate what a PCB is and its’ purpose. Understand the composition of a PCB. Work safely and securely to solder some components with some accuracy. Procedural Knowledge: Be able to use historical information of inventors and understand how they shaped the future of electronics, be able to identify key facts. Know how to safely solder and create a product with minimal errors. Understand input, process and output as well as feedback. Upper Hierarchical Knowledge: Be able to form their own opinions and articulate this within their literacy task. Know the name and function of components and link to their use in the circuit. Be able to work independently and transfer their skills to others. Explain and link how input, process output works and provide a detailed example. | Composite Knowledge: Pupils will learn about health and safety in a Food room and the hazards involved. They will learn about nutrients and basic cutting skills. Students will have knowledge of different textures and flavours Component Knowledge: Foundational Knowledge: Declarative Knowledge: Be able to follow instructions and remain safe when working with sharp objects. Be able to understand the principle of weighing and measuring. Be able to understand different textured by carrying out a sensory analysis.
