Curriculum plans

For longer term planning you download our curriculum plans. We have fully sequenced plans for each subject. Each plan provides a curriculum rationale, an outline of all topic units available and how many lessons are in each. 

How do I download?

All of our downloadable materials can be found within individual lessons on our website. Simply head to your chosen lesson and look for the Download button.

Note that you will be asked to give your school name (required), and for your email (optional). 

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 curricula 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 students 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.

We're updating and improving our resources?

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. More subjects will follow soon.
