GCSE POD
GCSE Pod is one on the school’s online learning sites that supports students, teacher and parents to prepare for qualification examinations.
The site is essentially a revision tool and the GCSE Pods are designed for any device and can be watched both in and out of school. It’s a bit like carrying a huge pile of textbooks with you everywhere!
Each pod has experts reading and explaining everything clearly including all the right facts, quotes, keywords, dates and diagrams on screen.
Students won’t need to use it for long to feel the impact. Consistent use in brief 10-minute sessions is proven to support achievement right up to A* (0-9). GCSE Pod is used for personal independent study and revision but your subject teachers and Year Teams will also direct you to specific pods they would like you to watch as part of a directed study programme.
GCSE Pod Links for Students
Login: Once students have their signing-up user and password, they can log into their account here: https://members.gcsepod.com/login
Quick Start: Video for Students “Quick Start to GCSE Pod”
