Stephanie Tomlison at Bulletproof Design, Bulletproof is an international strategic design brand agency which ‘exist to vanquish design mediocrity and make brands more commercially successful’.

What tools, equipment and materials should we buy for KS1 and KS2?, The tools, equipment and materials each individual school buys will depend on the projects they plan to carry out, what children actually design and make and the outcomes from risk assessments. The resources purchased should also comply with local authority, employer and school health and safety policy and guidance. Your school’s long-term plan for D&T should be referred to when deciding what to buy. If you don’t have a long-term plan, an example long-term plan that will give coverage of the new NC requirements can...
When should children in KS2 to learn about important people in D&T who have helped shaped the world?, We recommend that schools address ‘key events and individuals in D&T’ in those projects where it will be most interesting and meaningful for the children – not necessarily in every project. Schools may also want to bias this work towards Y5 and Y6. Across KS2, children should learn about a range of inventors, designers, engineers, chefs and manufacturers who have developed ground-breaking products, find out what they are famous for designing and/or making and what characteristics enabled them...
