Why educators love Access GCSEPod
Access GCSEPod breaks down language barriers!
We've got quite a lot of EAL students, and the translation button at the bottom of each pod is a fantastic feature of the platform in fostering increased comprehension.
GCSEPod has really fit into our school ethos
GCSEPod has been invaluable to our Year 11’s going through their mock exams, with many loving the interactive features, enabling them to effectively self-mark, and not wait for a teacher’s feedback during their independent study.
Everything a student and teacher could ask for!
A platform like GCSEPod has everything a student and a teacher could ask for in terms of videos, questions, exam papers, revision tips, promotional material, but the main important feature is its usability, which for an already disengaged student, is paramount.
Access GCSEPod closes gender gaps!
GCSEPod isn’t just being used as a GCSE teaching and learning tool for its Year 10 and 11 students, but has been rolled out across the academy as it looks to close the Progress 8 gap between boys and girls.
High usage correlates to improved P8 scores!
We identified a correlation between high GCSEPod usage and P8, so we promoted GCSEPod more heavily. This saw more than double the number of Pods watched with 16,313 and a P8 of 0.73 for the school (up from the previous year’s 0.17).
The highest standard in online teaching resources. Backed by industry-leading partnerships.
