About us

Board

We’re here to support great teaching. We’re an independent public body. We work in partnership to improve pupil outcomes and close the disadvantage gap by supporting teachers to teach, and enabling pupils to access a high-quality curriculum.

Our interim board oversees all of Oak’s work. They provide strategic direction, enable us to deliver on our plans, scrutinise our work and safeguard our independence. The interim board will be in place whilst a permanent board is chosen through a public appointments process.
