GCSE Pod

We have bought a license to GCSE Pod for all our year 10 and 11 students who are working towards their GCSE’s. They should have been given their log in details from school in the past two weeks but if you haven’t received this yet, please contact us to discuss and gain log in details.

Britannica Digital Learning

All of our students have access to Britannica Digital Learning which is essentially a huge database of information to help support students learning. It acts as a safer search engine than the likes of Google. Your students cannot access anything harmful on this system and this is why we like it so much.

Quaranteen’s – a young person’s guide to living in lockdown

As a response to the covid-19 pandemic and the country living in lockdown, we realise that care leavers are some of the hardest hit in terms of social isolation and financial hardship. The City’s Young People’s Council and Care Experienced Consultants have created ‘Quaranteen’s’ a social media campaign to support young people living through lockdown.

Healthy children
