What is CLEAR?
A shared architecture,
not a prescribed script
Shared Architecture
CLEAR provides a common structure for learning — a shared language and sequence that teachers across all subjects can use without sacrificing their professional judgement or subject expertise.
Coherence Without Conformity
The framework creates whole-school coherence without demanding uniformity. It works across disciplines, year groups and contexts, adapting to the demands of each subject whilst maintaining a consistent architecture.
Rooted in Practice
CLEAR was developed in classrooms and refined through whole-school implementation. It is a practical tool — not a theoretical model — designed to support the daily work of teaching and learning.
The Learning Cycle
Five phases. One coherent cycle.
Connect
Activate prior knowledge and establish context for new learning.

Introduce new content with clarity, purpose and high expectations.
Explore
Deepen understanding through guided and independent practice.
Assess & Adjust

Reflect & Reinforce

"A framework that creates coherence without conformity — preserving subject expertise and teacher autonomy."
