Why use a curriculum map?
Ofsted will review schemes of work or other long-term planning in whatever form you usually use these documents.
This could be in the form of a curriculum map or knowledge organiser, and will usually act as the basis for a conversation between inspectors and curriculum leaders to form a view of how pupils are progressing through the curriculum.
This is set out in paragraph 213 of Ofsted's inspection handbook for September 2022.
