About us

Board

We’re here to support great teaching. We’re an independent public body. We work in partnership to improve pupil outcomes and close the disadvantage gap by supporting teachers to teach, and enabling pupils to access, a high-quality curriculum.

Our Board oversees all of our work at Oak National Academy. They provide strategic direction, enable us to deliver on our plans, scrutinise our work and safeguard our independence.
