Powering Up for GCSEs: GCSEPod is Now Live for Year 11!

With Year 11 in the thick of their GCSE preparation, to support them during this critical time, we are excited to announce that we have invested in GCSEPod—an award-winning digital learning platform designed to make revision feel less like a mountain and more like a series of manageable steps.

Why GCSEPod?

We know that long hours of staring at a textbook isn't always the most effective way to learn. GCSEPod changes the game by offering:

  • Revision on the Go: Over 7,500 "Pods" (3-5 minute videos) mapped exactly to their exam boards. They can watch these on the bus, in the car, or between lessons.
  • Active Recovery: After the mocks, students often know which gaps they need to fill. GCSEPod’s self-marking quizzes give them instant feedback, allowing them to turn weaknesses into strengths immediately.
  • Smart Assignments: Teachers will be setting targeted tasks via the platform to ensure no student falls behind as we head toward the final exams.
How You Can Help

You don't need to be a subject expert to support your child. We recommend:

  • The "Login Check": Ask your child to show you their account.
  • Five-Minute Habits: Encourage them to watch just two or three Pods a night. It’s a small habit that yields massive results.
  • Explore the Parent Toolkit: Visit the GCSEPod Parent Page for resources on how to support your child’s mental well-being and study habits during exam season.
The "Quick Start" Challenge (With Prizes!)

Getting started is easy. Students should go to the login page and select "Log in as a student, I am new here." They will then be prompted to create their own username and password.

The Friday Incentive: Every student who successfully logs in and explores the site before this Friday will be entered into a prize draw!

If you have any questions about how to get the most out of this resource, please contact Mr. Wheeler, who is leading our GCSEPod rollout.

Let’s work together to make these final months as productive and stress-free as possible.
