Executive Summary  \nOak National Academy was founded in April 2020 to support schools with remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, Oak became an arm's-length body of the Department for Education and shifted focus to supporting high-quality in-class teaching. Since then, Oak has been working to develop teacher-made, quality-assured, openly licensed curriculum and lesson resources, designed to reduce workload and improve curriculum expertise across the sector. The release of these new resources began in the 2023-24 academic year. As of July 2025, 10,941 lessons, nearly 80% of all planned lessons, were freely available to teachers via Oak’s website.  \nSince 2020, Oak has commissioned an independent evaluation from ImpactEd each year. As with previous years, this evaluation examined the impact of Oak in the most recent year, specifically the 2024/25 academic year. The aim of the evaluation was to investigate the impact of the use of Oak’s resources in a changing educational environment on outcomes for teachers, the sector, and pupils.  \nThe findings summarised in this report are based on a mixed methods approach, including:  \n1. A quantitative survey with 1,032 participants (including Oak and non-Oak users) to investigate the potential impact of Oak National Academy on teachers’ workload, teachers’wellbeing and pupils’ academic performance, as well as asking Oak users about their usage of Oak, their feedback on the resources and impact in other areas like curriculum planning.  \n2. Qualitative research with teachers consisting of 24 interviews and three school case studies to explore experiences of Oak, how the resources are utilised, their views on the quality and added value of the materials, and the impact it has had on themselves, their pupils, and the wider school community. Case studies also included pupil interviews to gain insight into their experience with Oak’s curriculum and resources.  \n3. Oak’s anonymised analytics data related to engagement (e.g. lessons taken, lessons downloaded).  \n1.1 Key findings  \n1.1.1 Implementation and usage  \nTeacher and pupil usage  \nOak’s resources continued to see strong uptake among teachers and pupils, with steady yearon-year growth. Use continues to shift from remote-education for pupils to the main focus now being teachers using the resources to support in-class planning and delivery.  \n 196,143 teachers accessed and used Oak’s resources between January and July 2025, a 135% increase on the previous year (83,420). Last year, usage was measured using the definition of Total Teacher Users (TTU), while this year it is measured by the definition of  \nDirect Teacher Users (DTU). As a result, last year’s user count of 192,760 (TTU) cannot be directly compared to this year’s user count of 196,143 (DTU)1.  \n Lesson and curriculum resources were downloaded 1.63 million times across the 2024/25 academic year. This is a 128% increase on the previous year.  \n Pupils took part in over 4.2 million lessons through Oak National Academy.  \n On a typical week, Oak’s website was used by 54,100 teachers (a 53% increase from last year) and 32,400 pupils.  \nSchool reach  \nOak remained widely used across phases and school types across England, with particularly strong engagement in disadvantaged areas.  \n Staff in 17,663 schools (72% of a","cbCaigjGU9dMf6M1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigjGU9dMf6M1","pdf",1064639,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Key findings\n# Introduction\n## Context on Oak resources\n# Methodology\n## Research question\n## Evaluation design\n# Key Findings\n## Implementation and usage\n## Impact on teachers’ workload\n## Impact on teacher wellbeing\n## Impact on curriculum, lesson design and teaching practice (Users)\n## Quality of Oak’s resources\n## Impact on the sector (non-users)\n## Impact on pupils\n## Enablers and barriers to outcomes\n# Conclusion\n# Recommendations\n# Appendix","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this Oak National Academy evaluation for 2024/25?\",\"answer\":\"It investigates how Oak resources are used in a changing educational environment and examines impacts on teachers, the sector, and pupils during the 2024/25 academic year.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the evaluation conducted?\",\"answer\":\"It used a mixed-methods approach: a quantitative survey of 1,032 participants, qualitative interviews and school case studies (including pupil interviews), and anonymised analytics on engagement such as lessons taken and downloaded.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the key findings say about usage of Oak resources?\",\"answer\":\"Teacher and pupil uptake continued with steady year-on-year growth, with millions of lesson downloads and large numbers of teachers and pupils using the website in a typical week.\"}]","Oak National Academy - Evaluation Report (2024-2025) - November 2025 | PDF",1792548894,176]
