How do you keep consistency across teachers/classes?

Consistency comes from shared intent with shared structures, while still allowing individual teachers to bring something of themselves to the classroom.

What works in practice

• A clear progression map: agreed knowledge, vocabulary, and key outcomes per year group and per theme.
• Common non-negotiables: e.g., agreed lesson sequence, vocabulary routines, writing process, assessment checkpoints.
• Shared resources and exemplars: model texts, WAGOLLs, success criteria, and “expected standard” examples.
• Regular light-touch moderation: short, frequent book looks and pupil voice, not big, stressful events.
• Short planning briefings: a quick weekly alignment on what’s being taught and what “good” looks like.
• Central updates: one place for “what’s new”, tweaks, and guidance so everyone is working from the same version.
