GCSE Pod

GCSEpod Update

You will probably be aware that, here at WCSA, we subscribe to GCSEpod. I expect that your children use this as an additional revision tool. Indeed, we do encourage use and reward students who engage. I have personally used GCSEpod when I sat a GCSE myself (for fun!) about six years ago. I really can recommend the quality of this resource. I know how hard it is at home, so anything that adds variety is a good thing.

The purpose of this notice is to give you information about some webinars that GCSEpod will be running free for students. Please see the details sent to us below:

The team at GCSEPod are once again thrilled to be collaborating with Cameron Parker, a renowned motivational speaker for schools and colleges. Through this collaboration we are recommending his free webinars to your students to support them with the issues they face during this latest lockdown. Including practical tips on how to use GCSEPod that Cameron will be incorporating into his sessions.

Cameron will host three fast paced, high energy student webinars, focusing on motivation, managing stress, avoiding burnout and staying focused. The first webinar is tonight at 6pm, don’t miss out, let your students know about this exciting opportunity and give them the chance to inject some much needed motivation in-to their day!

“Cam was great at tailoring his work with the group to suit their needs and was so relatable to the pupils and it was clear they were captivated.”
Joe Sayce - Progress Leader for Key Stage Four - Acle Academy

These webinars are “events” and so we don’t record them as the recorded version does not deliver the impact, we want your students to receive.  That is why we’ve worked with Cam Parker to create some fantastic videos which will encapsulate his advice in short bursts!  Watch here:
