[ian.bauckham@thenational.academy](ian.bauckham@thenational.academy)  \n2 May 2024  \nOAK NATIONAL ACADEMY: PRIORITIES FOR 2024-25  \nI am grateful for your leadership of Oak National Academy (Oak) since its inception asan arm’s length body (ALB) in September 2022, and for your ongoing commitment to ensuring its success now that you have been appointed as permanent Chair of the Board.  \nThis letter sets out my thoughts on the priority areas of focus for the coming year and the outputs to be delivered, and Annex A sets out the key performance indicators that we have agreed will be included in your annual plan. This letter should be read in conjunction with the Framework Document which sets out the strategic aims that underpin Oak’s work. It should also be read alongside the terms of engagement as set out in your appointment letter.  \nAs Oak is becoming increasingly established, I would expect your primary focus this year to be on continued growth, both in terms of the development of new high-quality curriculum resources, and in delivering the intended benefits for an increasing number of teachers, as set out below.  \ni. Development of high-quality curriculum resources  \nOak shares with DfE a common objective of improving pupil outcomes and closing the disadvantage gap by supporting teachers to teach, and enabling pupils to access, a high-quality curriculum whilst also reducing teacher workload. Since September 2022, Oak has made significant progress in meeting this objective by bringing together the expertise of teachers, publishers, subject associations and other education organisations to successfully deliver the first of its high-quality, evidence-based curriculum resources. I know this work will continue at pace over the course of this year as Oak looks to complete the rollout of curriculum packages in its first curriculum subjects and begin the release of materials in its second cycle from the autumn.  \nI know that Oak is looking to further enhance the support available to schools by signposting users to other high-quality curricular offers from the market, and constructive dialogue is underway with interested stakeholders about the best approach to this. I would like to see suitable curricula in at least one subject signposted on the Oak website by early 2025.  \nAlongside this work, Oak should continue to explore options for providing content  \nthat provides pupils across the UK with the opportunity for learning above and beyond their school’s curriculum, working collaboratively with the devolved governments in doing so.  \nii. Supporting teachers to use Oak’s curriculum resources  \nTo fulfil its aim of reducing workload and improving curriculum expertise, it is critical that Oak achieves buy-in from across the education sector. Following the release of the first of Oak’s new curriculum resources, it is promising to see that the number of regular users accessing the platform is increasing. As more resources come on-stream, I would like to see an enhanced focus on raising awareness of what Oak has to offer and growing the number of users whilst retaining the core principle that Oak will always be optional for teachers to use.  \nI know that a key pillar of Oak’s plans to grow users and to help teachers reduce time spent developing resources is by using AI. In October 2023, Oak was given additional investment to integrate AI within its production processes, driving internal efficiencies and value for money; create new AI tools to help teachers plan, generate and customise lesson resources; support high quality tools in the wider market by smoothing integration through public APIs for the content Oak already makes available; and to share and communicate learning with the sector. I will look for Oak to work closely with the department's overarching strategic approaches t","cbCaih1hM8JedALa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih1hM8JedALa","pdf",157505,"English","# Development of high-quality curriculum resources\n## Supporting teachers to use Oak’s curriculum resources\n# 24-month independent review of Oak\n## Governance, reporting, forecasting, and implementation","[{\"question\":\"What are Oak National Academy’s primary priority areas for 2024-25?\",\"answer\":\"The letter emphasizes continued growth in developing high-quality curriculum resources and supporting teachers to use those resources effectively, alongside planned evaluation and review activities.\"},{\"question\":\"How will Oak expand teacher support and increase user adoption?\",\"answer\":\"Oak plans to raise awareness of what it offers, grow regular users while keeping the option for teachers, and signpost high-quality curricular offers from the market.\"},{\"question\":\"What role does AI play in Oak’s plans?\",\"answer\":\"Oak received investment to integrate AI into production processes for efficiencies and value for money, create AI tools for lesson planning and customization, and support smoother integration via public APIs.\"}]","OAK NATIONAL ACADEMY: PRIORITIES FOR 2024-25 | PDF",1792548901]
