The government will pay £1 million to organisations and academy trusts who created online lessons for the Oak National Academy, with new resources not expected to be up and running for at least another 14 months.
As announced in the schools white paper, Oak will become a government arm’s length body to provide free curriculum resources for schools. The procurement process for creating resources won’t begin until November.
Until then, Oak will continue to host content created by its “curriculum partners”, which include academy trusts like United Learning and Ark.
