Why this layout works
Everyone sees everyone
Pupils face across the room as well as towards the board, which suits discussion and questioning.
An open middle
The centre is clear for the teacher to walk in, demonstrate or set up an activity.
Before you copy it: A horseshoe seats fewer pupils than rows in the same room: twenty-two here against thirty.
