Primary Route Map (sample)

"...it is brilliant! The deputy and I have looked at it and discussed its many strengths and uses - it has already saved us time and moved us faster forward than we would have been."

This is what Ruth Schofield, Headteacher, Blackthorn Primary School, had to say about the customised evidence route map CUREE created for her.

This is a bespoke version of CUREE's well-renowned Route Map. CUREE translates research into resources and tools to help teachers and schools enhance learning on a day to day basis in classrooms.

We select and translate the best research to enable teachers to access research as an everyday part of CPD - the practitioner friendly enquiry tools help colleagues both make progress and know they are doing so - and help schools share practice between phases, departments and settings. As well as supporting your drive for greater success, the map is great for:

  • communicating with governors about your development plans
  • showing Ofsted inspectors how rigorous your planning is

The map below has some active links - underlined and in blue - to give you an idea of how a route map works – though your own bespoke route map would focus on the needs and targets of your school or cluster and be fully active.

If you are interested in having your own bespoke route map, e-mail Gillian Spence.
