Written by Kate Storey

As another academic year comes to a close, we'd like to thank you for your continued support and partnership. Before you head off for a well-earned summer break, we wanted to share a few exciting updates for September, alongside a look back at everything we've added this year.

Coming This September: The GCSE Pod App

This September, we'll be officially launching the GCSEPod App, giving students even greater flexibility to learn wherever they are.

Whether they're revising on the move, catching up on assignments at home, or fitting in a quick recap between lessons, GCSE Pod will be right at their fingertips.

With access to the same trusted Pods, assessments and learning resources, students can stay connected to their learning anytime, anywhere.

One platform. Every device. Learning without limits.


New Subject Launch: GCSE Art & Design

We're also delighted to announce the launch of one of our most requested new subjects: GCSE Art & Design.

Available in time for the new academic year, the subject will support students with topics including:

  • Building and developing a portfolio

  • Understanding and using sources

  • The formal elements of art

  • Exam and coursework preparation

The new course will include 65+ video Pods alongside a wide range of assessments to help students build confidence and deepen their understanding throughout the course.

It's been a busy year for content development, with new resources added across all major exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, WJEC, Oxford AQA, Edexcel International, Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge O Level and CCEA.

This year's highlights:

  • 314 new Pods

Thank you for all the feedback and suggestions that continue to shape our content roadmap.
