Subject leaders have a clear overview of what is taught in each year group throughout school which they share with stakeholders. They ensure that pupils build on the knowledge and skills taught through planned opportunities for repetition. Our curriculum is designed to help learners to store the content they have been taught in their long term memory and to ensure new learning is integrated into larger concepts. We use evidence-based research to enhance knowledge retention and thus improve outcomes for all pupils.  Prior knowledge is activated through the use of knowledge and graphic organisers alongside regular quizzing and retrieval practice. Explicit modelling, guided practice and scaffolded examples are used to support learners in preparation for independent practice. Effective metacognition strategies get learners to think about their own learning more explicitly so that they know more and remember more.
