Most Helpful Reviews

timely practice

John Petry, Lead Practitioner: It is the only thing I have found which guarantees that students who need additional learning support catch up with their peers. Often they can understand harder topics - it is just their memory holding them back. Timely practice removes that barrier.
Tony Shah, Head of Mathematics: Because I have seen first hand the confidence, enjoyment and progress of pupils
Kirsty Behan, Acting Team Leader: Timely Practice has revolutionized the way I teach low attaining students. It has not only improved results but students have reported enjoying completely their timely practice each lesson, knowing how much it has helped them learn and, often for the first time, given them some confidence in their mathematical knowledge.

GCSEPod

Maggie Paule, Teacher / Coordinator: I gave the score 10/10 since GCSEpod has been our main source of lessons ever since. It is also updated every now and then that gives us recent topics for the subjects given.
Adam Speight, Acting Assistant Headteacher: Having used many different e-learning platforms to date in my career, GCSEPod is by far the leader in terms of interface design and the processes they adopt in order to ensure quality assurance of the materials they provide to users.
Richard Ward, Director of Science: Whilst GCSEPod has everything a teacher and a student needs, feedback from colleagues and students is that it is not the most user friendly interface compared to other platforms they use like Sparx. The quality of the resources is exceptional and the new KS3 format is perfect for students to easily navigate but the original content is still a little cluttered. The most common request I receive from Pod Leads is the desire to find all Check and Challenge questions in one place or the ability to assign them. Disengaged students will not work through the modules and then find the tasks themselves. For engaged students however, GCSEPod is fantastic as they appreciate exactly what the platform provides creating their own revision playlists. If the GCSE content could be assigned to flow like the KS3 content then I would award it 10 stars. I'd also like to add that the team at GCSEPod are phenomenal. They take on board suggestions and provide support immediately. They assist with setting bespoke competitions for our academies and the platform runs without any glitches or issues.
