England’s largest academy trust United Learning won’t hand over 1,500 lessons to the new Oak quango saying it does not support a “government approved curriculum” – and has set up its own rival website instead.
It comes as a new interim board is appointed to Oak ahead its of launch as an independent government arms-length body (ALB) in the coming weeks.
But it’s been revealed today that United Learning – one of the original partners that created lessons for the online school – turned down government cash to hand over its intellectual property rights.
