Churchill School subscribe to GCSEPod, the award-winning service, to give our students access to thousands of hours of professionally produced, audio-visual content, which will benefit them throughout the coming year.

GCSEPod has over several thousand teacher-written, audio-visual pods, which have been produced specifically for learning, homework and revision. The Pods contain all the right facts, quotes, keywords, dates and annotated diagrams that our students need for GCSE success. They won’t need to use GCSEPod for long to see the impact; in fact, consistent use of just 10 minute chunks is proven to support achievement whatever the child’s target grade is.

The GCSEPod website can be viewed on mobiles, tablets and PCs and the Pods can be downloaded for offline viewing. The Pods are mapped to the curriculum and students can access pre-set exam playlists which collate all the Pods relevant to a specific exam into a neatly organised list.

Once a student has activated their account they can browse the Pod library and create their own playlists – just as they would when they’re listening to music. We recommend that parents and carers discuss GCSEPod with their son or daughter to ensure that they have successfully activated their accounts and encourage them to make use of this service throughout their GCSEs.

To access GCSEPod for the first time, students should follow the simple steps in the attached “Quick Start Guide”.

For more ways parents and carers can help support their child using GCSEPod, visit www.gcsepod.com/parents where there is lots more information and resources.
