Where CleverPath's content comes from
Every question is linked to the curriculum content it is based on. If something can't be backed by one of the sources below, CleverPath doesn't say it.
Sources
"In use" means it is loaded into CleverPath today. Other sources are listed with their current status.
Oak National Academy
Teacher-made lessons for each year group: key learning points, keywords, common misconceptions, transcripts and starter/exit quizzes. This will be the main source of questions and explanations. We use the official Oak API and bulk download, not the website.
Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0 · Original source
National Curriculum in England (Department for Education)
The Key Stage 3 programmes of study and the DfE's GCSE subject content documents (17 documents so far). Used as the map of what each year group should learn, and to link questions to curriculum statements.
Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0 · Original source
Exam board specifications (AQA first; Pearson Edexcel and OCR being added)
The published GCSE specifications for subjects such as Business, Geography, Engineering, maths and science. We keep only the structure (topic codes, short titles, papers and tiers) so practice can follow a child's actual course. The boards' own wording is never stored for display or shown to children.

Your child's own notes (Snap it)
Photos of class notes or revision lists that a child or parent uploads. They are only used for that family and are deleted automatically after 30 days.
Licence: Your family's own
How questions are checked
- Oak's own quiz questions are imported with their lesson and checked against that lesson's key learning points.
- AI-assisted questions must cite the lesson content they're based on. An automatic check rejects any question whose answer can't be found in that content.
- Further automatic checks look at accuracy, whether the question suits the year group, and the answer key. Questions that fail are held back for a person to review.
- Children can report a question with one tap. Reported questions are taken out of use until someone has looked at them.
What we don't use
- Content scraped from websites such as BBC Bitesize.
- Past exam papers or mark schemes as questions.
- Anything a child writes, to train AI models.
