What's included in this bundle?

A clear and inviting poster with questions for teachers to reflect on their own subject knowledge, including:

  • Do you use analogies or real-world examples to help your pupils grasp abstract or challenging subject matter?
  • Do your pupils apply subject knowledge to solve complex problems or tasks?
  • How detailed and subject-specific is the verbal and written feedback you give?

Designed to get staff thinking (as well as make your staff room look sleek), this free digital download is a simple way to boost the importance of staff having secure subject knowledge in your school. Share it with all staff, including ECTs, cover supervisors and any teaching assistants who cover lessons, to get them thinking about how deep their subject knowledge really is. 

Also included is a low-colour (but still inviting) poster because we know how tight printing budgets can be! Please note: this is a digital download only and you will not receive a physical copy of the poster.

What other resources are available to support subject knowledge?

For subject leaders, we have a whole pack dedicated to monitoring staff subject knowledge. This includes guidance on how to explore planning and the curriculum, pick up on subject knowledge in lessons and understand how this translates to pupils' work. It's ideal for anyone new to subject leadership or those who have started a new school and need to get to grips with staff subject knowledge in the area they lead. It's also useful if there have been changes in your staff team and you want to check that staff subject knowledge is still strong.

If you're leading a subject and you just don't know where to start, don't worry! We've also got a pack to support you. Our Initial Information Exploration pack walks you through where to begin if you're brand new to a subject or a school and you need to quickly find out the picture of the subject you're now leading. With monitoring templates, a full and detailed checklist covering every step and a suggested timetable on how to manage subject leadership and your classroom commitments, it's an invaluable resource for subject leaders.
