At The Sixth Form College Farnborough, our teaching is driven by The Farnborough 5 (F5): a flexible, evidence-informed framework built around five core principles: Review, Position, Chunk, Chew, and Check.

Rather than a rigid checklist, the F5 provides a shared language that celebrates teacher expertise, manages cognitive load, and places student attention at the heart of every lesson.

The 5 Core Principles:

  • Review – Reactivating prior knowledge to build strong foundations.
  • Position – Sharing the "big picture" so students understand where the learning is going.
  • Chunk – Breaking new information down into digestible, bite-sized pieces.
  • Chew – Giving students time to actively process and apply new concepts.
  • Check – Using precise, real-time assessment to check for understanding.
