Can someone explain to me what Oak Academy is? I keep seeing it mentioned but even after a google I'm none the wiser.

TIA

It's the government funded online education that most primary schools directed parents to use during lockdown. My children mainly done the maths lessons.

Why not google it? Try it out. The info is all on there

It’s an online school with a structured curriculum and video lessons set up by teachers and funded by the DfE.

The English lessons are one of the worst things I have ever seen. They seem guaranteed to kill a child's interest in literature and creative writing forever.

Its for secondary as well. (Though i havent checked what they are doing for secondary this academic year).
I agree with pp the english was dry, i thought the maths was good for primary.

DS (secondary) preferred the English lessons to his school lessons - he loved the fact they were all about the Greek Gods. Only looked at his year group though, so don't know what the work was like for the other years.

I wasn't impressed when I saw what my DD's had to do in lockdown.

Some of their foundation stuff was interesting for KS1. We used it during lockdown to learn about the Shang Dynasty in China (I learnt something!!) and Spanish.

Mine were KS2 last year and it was miles beyond and more interesting than what our school was offering which was just downloadable worksheets. Unfortunately, we weren't given the option to follow the oak academy curriculum.
