Knowledge Maps have become a core focus in our classrooms. Some real easy wins: workload ⬇️, retrieval ⬆️ and links ⛓between subjects and to pupils’ understanding of the world 🌎. Developing understanding and identity.

It all depends how it’s run. We’ve seen tremendous growth in both love of reading & progress, but we are also mindful not to be too restrictive. A child wants to read a book that is considered too hard? Let them give it a go- as long as systems are in place for them to change
