Oak National Academy

Oak National Academy provides free curriculum plans and teaching resources for schools, teachers, trusts, and pupils. Its coverage runs through key stages 1–4 across 20 subjects and aligns with the national curriculum and exam boards. Materials include lesson plans, slide decks, quizzes, worksheets, and videos of teachers teaching the content. Oak presents them as adaptable starting points for different settings and pupils. Its AI tools help teachers and education professionals create, adapt, and enhance curriculum-aligned lessons, slides, and quizzes; pupils must not use these generative tools directly. The service is available on the web and through an open curriculum API. Content published after 1 September 2022 is generally available under the Open Government Licence v3.0, subject to exceptions and third-party rights. Earlier lesson videos cannot be downloaded, recorded, or reproduced under the stated licence. Oak says it has no paywalls, package tiers, or hidden costs, and provides child-focused privacy protections and a Help Centre.
