What's the benefit of downloading lesson planning and teaching resources?

It’s up to you to decide how to, and indeed whether you choose to, use our lesson planning and teaching resources. They are, and will always be free for you to access, whenever you need them.

Downloading our resources allows you to edit and adapt them however you need. Our resources are designed to be flexible as we know teachers know their schools and pupils best. Take a look at our lesson planning page for more inspiration on using our resources.

We also know that there are pupils without laptops or internet access and appreciate the challenge of digital inclusion outside of school. Downloading resources means that teachers can provide disadvantaged pupils with printed copies or even offline copies (via a USB stick, for example), so that pupils can continue to access Oak offline.
