Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans she has to direct the Oak National Academy on children's learning about (a) society and (b) history.

Oak’s resources will be created independently, free to access, non-compulsory for schools to use, and evidence based. In creating curriculum packages and educational resources, Oak will ensure alignment with the National Curriculum, and have due regard to the Department’s non-statutory curriculum guidance.

The Department does not prescribe how subjects, including society and history, should be taught but we expect schools to develop a curriculum that meets the need of their pupils.
