Brain-based learning

New Ofsted Toolkit expectationsTo be graded ‘Expected Standard’, teachers and leaders MUST be able to demonstrate: “the school’s approach to teaching is based on an evidence-informed understanding of effective teaching and how pupils learn“. Long-term Memory, Learning and Curriculum DesignUnlock the science of how children really learn and turn it into practical classroom action. This course explores how the brain encodes, stores and retrieves information, and shows you how to design curriculum and teaching that help pupils know more and remember more over time. Grounded in cognitive science and fully aligned with DfE and Ofsted expectations, it gives you a clear, usable model for planning learning that sticks. Why this course? Too often, pupils appear to understand something in the lesson but cannot recall or use it weeks later. This course tackles that problem directly. You will see how working memory, long-term memory and schema actually operate, why overload happens, and what teachers can do to prevent it. You will learn how repetition, retrieval practice, spacing and interleaving strengthen neural pathways so that learning is retained rather than lost. What you’ll learn By the end of the course, you will: Understand the key features of long-term memory, working memory and neuroplasticityRecognise what overload looks like and how to reduce it through clearer instruction and task designUse retrieval practice, spacing and interleaving to strengthen retention and reduce forgettingBuild schema deliberately using vocabulary, models, examples and prior knowledge to deepen understandingApply memory principles to curriculum design, sequencing and progression planningUse writing, oracy and vocabulary as tools to consolidate learning across subjectsSupport pupils with additional needs by reducing cognitive barriers and adapting how knowledge is rehearsed and retrievedWhat’s included High-impact training session on long-term memory, learning and curriculum designClear explanations of brain processes in teacher-friendly languagePractical classroom strategies for retrieval practice, spacing, interleaving, summarising, note-making and “Find and Fix” activitiesCurriculum design guidance for sequencing, progression, knowledge organisers and recall routinesTemplates and tools you can use immediatelyEvidence and Inspection AlignmentGrounded in cognitive science This course is built on clear evidence about how learning is encoded, strengthened and retrieved over time. It demonstrates how techniques such as spacing, retrieval and interleaving help knowledge move into long-term memory, making learning more durable. Aligned with DfE guidance Current DfE expectations in the Writing Framework highlight the importance of reducing cognitive load, securing foundational knowledge and building automaticity. This course supports those principles by showing how long-term memory can be strengthened and how writing, oracy and vocabulary deepen understanding across the curriculum. Matches Ofsted’s expectations for high-quality curriculum design Ofsted expects curriculum to be carefully sequenced so that pupils gain knowledge incrementally and reach clearly defined end points. This course provides practical tools for structuring learning, building schema and ensuring knowledge is revisited and retrieved so it is retained securely. It also supports the requirement for assessment to help pupils embed key concepts and use knowledge fluently. Reinforces inclusive practice Inspection expectations emphasise that the most effective inclusion strategy begins with high-quality teaching. This course shows how memory, cognitive load and classroom design interact with additional needs, disadvantage and wider barriers to learning. You will learn how to adapt teaching so that pupils who find learning hardest can access and retain essential knowledge.

Excellent course- highly recommend to every teacher and school leader! This training should be a key part of the teacher training process and should be at the forefront of all curriculum design and lesson planning. John was clear and the content was carefully planned. We have come away very motivated and ready to embed this research into all we do at school.
