Knowledge Organisers

Our Knowledge Organisers are documents aimed at helping the children link their knowledge and skills to their previous learning, and allow them to know what they are expected to learn throughout a new topic. Research around memory suggests that if knowledge is studied once and not revisited or revised, it is not stored in the long-term memory. This means that after one lesson, or revising for one test, the knowledge will not be retained unless it is studied again and again. It won’t be recalled unless it is revisited frequently, which will embed it in the long-term memory. This is often referred to as ‘Spiral Learning’ or ‘Retrieval Practice’.

Our Knowledge Organisers are a go-to document for a half term unit of work. They identify the key information that children need to have learned by the end of the unit. They also act as a tool to support children in retaining and retrieving knowledge for life-long learning.
