<p>As announced in the Schools White Paper, the department will establish a new arm’s
length curriculum body, building on the success of Oak National Academy’s work during
the COVID-19 pandemic. It will work with thousands of teachers to co-design, create,
and continually improve packages of optional, free, adaptable digital curriculum resources
and video lessons. These optional resources will be available across the UK, helping
teachers deliver a high-quality curriculum.</p><p> </p><p>Teachers in the UK benefit
from a diverse commercial education resources market that offers a range of materials
to support high-quality planning and teaching. The curriculum body will work with
the market, leading a broad and inclusive national process that will involve commercial
education resource suppliers as well as teachers, schools, school trusts, Subject
Associations, National Centres of Excellence, and many others, as it develops and
delivers its support offer for schools.</p><p> </p><p>Building on our existing understanding,
the department is currently working with commercial organisations to gather further
information that will help us to understand the potential effect on the market. It
is important to us that areas of the market that offer high-quality, carefully sequenced
resources that meet teachers’ needs can continue doing so. Opportunities for educational
publishers and other partners to work with the curriculum body will be open to all
across the sector.</p><p> </p>
