Each week in May we will be updating this blog space with the top 20 terms that have been most commonly searched for by Tes users in the past week. We have also listed the top 20 search terms for the upcoming weeks from May last year. As authors, you can use this information to stay up to date with current and past trends and monitor what content our users are seeking so that you can tailor your resources to their needs!
As well as this, to give a more granular insight into the trends, we've provided a breakdown of the top three search terms for several subjects on Tes. So that we can give you the most useful insight we can, if terms are continuously showing up for specific subjects, we will highlight different top trending terms week-by-week to ensure variety and to avoid highlighting the same top three terms every week.
