There is quite a large period of time between the GCSE’s finishing and college places starting. It is important that this time is used well so that students keep their brains active and are well prepared for the courses they will be starting in September. This page provides a range of resources that can be used by students to prepare for post-16 courses.
The GCSE Pod Workbooks are open to anyone to access but you will need a GCSE Pod account to use the playlists. Oathall year 11s will have access to these, just log in with your school details.
Resources will be added to this page so do check back from time to time.
