The Cheadle Academy

At The Cheadle Academy, our Design and Technology (D&T) curriculum aims to foster creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills which empowers students to become confident designers, engineers, and critical thinkers. We believe that Design and Technology plays a crucial role in preparing students for an ever-evolving, technology-driven world. Our curriculum is structured to ignite curiosity, encourage hands-on learning, and promote a deep understanding of how design impacts daily life and the wider world. Through hands-on experiences, thoughtful inquiry, and reflection on the world around them, students will leave our programme equipped with the skills and knowledge to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
