2.7 Oak Content for the English National Curriculum

For schools whose curriculum is set to the English National Curriculum — an Oak National Academy–backed curriculum — the AI tutor can draw on Oak National Academy lesson content directly inside chat. This extends CurricuLLM's normally Australian-Curriculum-aligned platform to England.

If your school is on the English National Curriculum, Oak lessons, videos, and resources come straight into your chat — no setup, just ask.

There's No Toggle to Find

Oak content is automatic for eligible schools. There is no Oak setting to switch on. You just chat naturally, and CurricuLLM pulls in Oak material behind the scenes:

• "Plan a Year 4 fractions lesson."
• "Show me a video on the water cycle."
• "What does Oak teach about Macbeth?"

What Appears in Replies

When Oak has relevant material, your replies can include:

• Lesson plans and topic overviews.
• Learning progressions across key stages.
• Prerequisite knowledge for a topic.
• Downloadable resources — worksheets and slides.
• Quiz questions.
• Clickable Oak lesson cards.
• Inline lesson videos that play directly in chat.

Clicking a lesson card can open a side Lesson pane with slides and resources, so you can browse the full lesson without leaving your conversation.

Who Gets It

• Teachers and staff on Oak-configured (English National Curriculum) schools.
• It is disabled for students, and disabled in Studio mode, even on Oak schools.
• Schools on the Australian Curriculum don't see Oak content.

Tip: Because it's automatic, the best way to use Oak content is simply to ask for what you need — a lesson, a video, a worksheet, or a quiz — and mention the year group / key stage and topic so CurricuLLM can find the best Oak match.
