How Oak's lessons are structured
Our area for pupils is called our Pupil area. This is typically used by teachers to set cover, set homework for pupils or to help absent pupils to catch up.
You can share these lessons with any pupil via Google Classroom, Teams or any other platform.
Lessons typically last an hour and follow a similar structure.
- Some lessons will have a starter quiz at the beginning to retrieve and activate prior knowledge that needs to be built upon. Similarly, some lessons have an exit quiz to check pupil understanding.
- Every lesson has a video with an explanation of the topic from a teacher. Typically, a video will include lesson objectives, questions to ensure understanding, and various practice tasks, with prompts to start and pause the video.
- Most lessons have an additional worksheet embedded. These contain any templates, tasks or other content as referred to in the video.
Our lesson planning and teaching resources for teachers mirror what is available in our pupil view with added functionality such as downloading slide decks, worksheets and quizzes so they can be edited and adapted as needed for use in the classroom.
We've released new lesson planning and teaching resources for English, maths, history, and science from keys stages 1, 3, 3 & 4, and primary geography.
Look our for the label 'New' and for slide decks, worksheets and quizzes that match the colours and logo on our new website. We've improved the design of our resources to be fresher, easier to find and use and to be more accessible.
For our other subjects, we’re releasing those resources on a rolling basis over this academic year, as soon as they’re ready. By autumn 2025, you’ll have access to every resource for all our curriculum plans. You can keep up to date by signing up for updates from us.
