After 20 million lessons were accessed in our first term, it was clear to us that the work of Oak needed to continue to support schools last year.

And what a year it was. Throughout the 2020/21 academic year, we supported teachers in 54.1% of all state schools in England to deliver 110 million more lessons — figures beyond anything we could have anticipated.

With help from research conducted by ImpactEd, we’re proud to present an in-depth look into not just the numbers, but how that usage has translated into continued positive and measurable impact on pupils and teachers.

Oak National Academy partnered with ImpactEd to understand the impact that Oak resources had over the Spring and Summer terms in 2021, reflecting both on usage during partial school closures and following full pupil returns.
