Curriculum plan 2020-21

1. Curriculum Principles

Coherence and flexibility We strive to support schools by giving them an online education offer that can be flexible to fit alongside their

existing curriculum. The units for each exam text are designed as standalone units to provide flexibility to schools as

they can choose how to sequence the units to best serve their pupils.

Knowledge organisation Due to the unique nature of our online curriculum, pupils’ understanding of whole texts is achieved through reading

extracts, key moments, and summaries of the text. In English Literature lessons, pupils are guided through each

text with ‘first-teaching’ units, with a focus on character, plot, form, and conventions of genre. These are followed by

units which are designed to explore characters, ideas, and themes in greater depth.

Units are carefully planned and sequenced to ensure that content is interleaved: pupils revisit and apply prior

education across sequences of lessons, building towards regular extended responses. Lessons follow a consistent

structure to support pupils in accessing ambitious and challenging content. Lessons are framed around a ‘Key

Question’ which pupils answer by the end of each lesson. New material is presented in small steps and pupils have

opportunities in each lesson to check their work against exemplar answers. In all lessons, there is an opportunity for

pupils to complete work which is a product of their own independent thinking.

2 Version 2.0, 24 August 2020 Oak National Academy

Knowledge selection The Key Stage 4 English curriculum provides online lessons for the most popular GCSE Literature texts. Our aim is

that our curriculum supports all pupils in achieving success in their public examinations, whilst also preparing them

for the challenges and demands of their next stage of education or training. Our knowledge rich curriculum

includes the explicit teaching of vocabulary.

Inclusive and ambitious We want Oak to be able to support all children. Our units are pitched so that children with different starting points

can access them. Our activities are scaffolded so all children can succeed. At its core, our Key Stage 4 curriculum

supports pupils in understanding, remembering, and applying powerful knowledge.

Pupil engagement We need pupils to be thinking during their lessons - both to engage with the subject and to strengthen memory of

what is being learnt. Our lessons will not be video lectures. We seek to exercise pupils’ minds throughout their

lessons.

Motivation through learning Like all teachers, we recognise that good presentation helps pupils keep participating in our lessons. We seek to

motivate children through our subjects. We believe that what we teach is inherently interesting, and that the joy of


education is our primary motivator. As English teachers, we believe in the power of storytelling and language to

motivate and inspire children, and we hope to capture this in our video resources.

A curriculum of quality We will judge the quality of our curriculum by its:

a. Scope - is it appropriately broad, whilst also covering a high proportion of schools’ existing curricula?

b. Coherence - does it come together as a whole to develop a schema of understanding in pupils?

c. Sequencing - do the lessons within units build on prior education?

d. Rigour - are the tasks and education of an ambitious enough level?

e. Are we open to feedback and improvement?
