Ofsted should evaluate Oak National Academy’s lessons, syllabus and resources to make sure they are up to scratch when it becomes an arms-length curriculum body, a think tank has said.
The Institute for Government has recommended “proper evaluation and assurance” of Oak’s performance saying it so far has “limited formal evaluation” since launching during the 2020 lockdown.
The think tank say while this was understandable due to measuring impact during school closures, the curriculum body’s performance “should be assessed more robustly given its permanence, broader remit and closer alignment to government”.
