Welcome to Oxford Impact

Designed for learning. Developed for impact.

To make a positive impact on teaching and learning requires a combination of great teachers, supportive parents/carers and engaging resources. However, choosing the most impactful resources can be difficult, and with increasing demands on time and budget, it has become ever-more important to invest in the right ones.

Our mission

As a department of the University of Oxford, improving educational outcomes is core to our mission. We are dedicated to creating educational solutions that deliver real impact in the most effective way possible.

We do this by blending impactful, proven learning design with our extensive global educational experience and expertise to ensure that we develop products and services that will support teachers, advance knowledge and learning, and deliver the best educational outcomes for all.

"With unprecedented changes in Education and the world around us, we have seen an accelerated demand for evidence of what works and makes a real difference to teaching and learning. Oxford Impact has enabled us to work with thousands of educators across the globe to evaluate how Oxford products and services support teachers and have a positive impact on learning."

Fathima Dada
Managing Director, Education

"With Oxford Impact our aim was to develop a rigorous, research-centred approach enabling us to carry out impact studies in a structured and credible way. This in turn would provide the evidence to support the positive impact that our products and services have on teaching and learning."

Dr Penelope Woolf
Director of Impact and Learning Design

“Impact studies for products and resources are crucial. Curriculum design and its implementation are increasingly being evaluated on the impact they are having on pupil learning outcomes and progression.”

Making the right choice

But we don’t stop there. By evaluating the impact of our products and services, we can help educators in selecting the most impactful educational resources that meet their needs. We can also offer reassurance that OUP’s products and services continue to meet the high-quality standards that everyone expects.

This holistic approach gives us a deeper understanding of how we can develop and deliver the most impactful educational solutions now and in the future.

‘’Evidence of impact is essential in making decisions about purchasing educational resources. Our school looks for reliable data, such as research findings that show the impact of materials on improving student achievement.” IB Coordinator, USA
