Our approach to lesson design is based around the research of Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory and Rosenhine's Principles of Instruction. It ensures that children's existing knowledge is reactivated before teaching new knowledge in small 'chunks' of granular knowledge.

We have a fluid approach to lesson design whereby each element of the session is carefully crafted and allowing the teacher to expertly flow between each element. It encompasses elements of modelling and facilitation as well as time for children to work together as well as independently to secure new learning. There are also regular opportunities for reflection throughout the lesson to consolidate the key learning.
