This letter sets out my thoughts on the priority areas for your focus in the forthcoming year, and Annex A, which you have provided, sets out your expected scope for the Oak annual business plan. It should be read alongside your responsibilities as Chair set out in your appointment letter, and the expectations of the Chair of public bodies attached at Annex B.  \nThe DfE and Oak share the common objective of advancing education, training, learning and development of children, young people and learners (and those supporting them) for the public benefit in the UK, particularly to improve pupil outcomes and close the disadvantage gap by supporting teachers to teach, and enabling pupils to access, a high-quality curriculum whilst also reducing teacher workload.  \nI know that Oak is now focused on delivering the strategic aims that have been mutually agreed in the Framework Document, which are set out again below.  \n● Aim 1-Work with schools, teachers and the wider education system to create, develop and support the use of free, optional, high quality full curriculum packages that are available to teachers and pupils through a robust, accessible digital education platform.  \n● Aim 2-Continue to provide a national contingency for remote education should it be needed in the event of disruption.  \n● Aim 3-Provide a package of connected stretching materials for teachers and pupils through the same digital education platform that is available across the four nations and draws on content and expertise from all areas of the UK.  \n● Aim 4-Establish ONA as a high-performing, well-respected sector organisation that: maintains its ‘by teachers for teachers’ approach; contributes to the growing understanding of curriculum best practice; is strategically aligned with, but operationally independent from, government; and delivers excellent value for money.  \nIn achieving these aims, the Department’s clear expectation – and your clear intention, I know – is that Oak will use existing expertise and highquality resources (where they are unpinned by a high-quality curriculum) that already exist as a strong first preference and starting point when creating your full curriculum packages. Oak will bring together the expertise of teachers from across the country and work with the existing market for curriculum resources, including academy trusts and education publishers. Oak is working to develop a commercial proposition which meets government objectives, including improving pupil outcomes and securing value for money, while also balancing the interests of potential commercial partners. As part of this, I know that Oak is looking to support choice for schools, and signposting users to other high-quality alternative offers from the market. I know you are already beginning constructive dialogue on this with all the stakeholders involved.  \nAs Chair of Oak, we are looking to you to lead the board and provide support and challenge to the Chief Executive and executive team in the delivery of these aims over the coming year. Oak will set out clear plans and KPIs for the delivery of its aims. These plans will allow Oak to monitor the activities and outcomes as set out at Annex B (expected scope of Oak’s annual business plan) .  \nIn addition to the specific aims set out above, and the expected outcomes described in Annex A, as Oak is newly established as an Arm’s Length Body, the department also expects that you will focus on the following areas to ensure that Oak is in the best place to deliver on behalf of Government:  \n● Building capacity and capability at the executive level, to ensure Oak has the appropriate experience and expertise to fulfil","cbCaid6zqllZVAVH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid6zqllZVAVH","pdf",189909,"English","# Priority areas for the forthcoming year\n## Shared objectives with the Department for Education\n## Strategic aims for Oak\n## Board leadership, KPIs, and monitoring\n## Additional focus areas as an Arm’s Length Body","[{\"question\":\"What strategic aims does the letter set for Oak in the coming year?\",\"answer\":\"It lists four aims: expand and support free high-quality curriculum packages via a digital platform, provide a remote education contingency, deliver connected stretching materials through the same platform, and establish ONA as a high-performing, well-respected sector organisation delivering value for money.\"},{\"question\":\"How should Oak create its full curriculum packages?\",\"answer\":\"Oak is expected to use existing expertise and high-quality resources as a strong first preference when creating curriculum packages, while bringing together teachers’ expertise nationwide and working with the existing market for curriculum resources.\"},{\"question\":\"What additional responsibilities does the department expect from the Chair as an Arm’s Length Body?\",\"answer\":\"The letter highlights executive capacity building, board and senior leadership succession planning (including appointing Non-Executive Directors), evaluating board and director performance, ensuring board involvement and business continuity planning, challenging budgetary control to stay within spending settlement, and implementing robust governance for approvals and value for money considerations.\"}]","Ian Bauckham Letter to Chair, Oak National Academy Limited - October 2022 | PDF",1792548882,25]
