KNOWLEDGE ORGANISERS

Our Knowledge Organisers are 'learning mats' that have been designed to contain all of the key learning for that subject's topic. Our students will use these within their lessons but are also encouraged to use them to support their own learning, homework, and for revision.


Our English KOs are available below; separated into year group/key stage.


We have linked any relevant KOs within the appropriate section of our Learning Handbooks (available on our CURRICULUM INTENT page)
