Think Oak only covers a few subjects? Think again

Rachel Strom

Head of School Support

Myth: Oak is only handy for the core subjects - but not much else.

As teaching has evolved, so have we. No longer a limited library for remote learning, you now have access to a complete, coherent curriculum - with expert-made plans and resources for every national curriculum subject across key stages 1-4. We’re still free for you to use - and always will be.

Whether you’re teaching insects: drawing and printmaking in year 3, machine learning and AI in year 8, or Spanish actors and films in year 10, we’ve got you covered. Each subject has fully-resourced curriculum plans designed by expert teachers - high-quality, aligned to the national curriculum, and easy to tailor for your pupils.

Oak’s clear, sequenced curriculum gives teachers confidence that the small steps they’re teaching build on what the children already know, and are building towards what they need to know in the future.

You’ll find slide decks, quizzes, worksheets, vocab lists, audio files and more - all designed to lighten your load and support great teaching. And if you want to quickly adapt something? Our safe, secure AI tools make it effortless to tailor lessons and resources, or create new ones from scratch.

Oak goes far beyond a few core subjects. It gives you confidence that, whatever you teach, there’s a framework and resources to support you.

From art to PE, computing to RSHE, thousands of schools are already using Oak across the curriculum. Time to see how Oak can support you?
