Knowledge Organisers

A Knowledge Rich Curriculum at Oasis Academy Enfield

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. It won’t be recalled unless it is revisited frequently, which will embed it in the long term memory. In the long term this makes recall far easier. As part of homework, students should be revising what they have been taught recently but also content they were taught previously.

Therefore as part of our strategy to embed learning over time we have started to develop knowledge organisers across all year groups and curriculum areas. These will provide key content and knowledge allowing students to pre-learn and re-learn, a vital part of processing all the information required to be successful in the new style GCSE’s.
