Join us in revolutionising the way students engage with Key Stage 3 learning resources! If you're an educator looking for an innovative and comprehensive resource to enhance your teaching and support student learning, our Key Stage 3 resources are the solution you've been looking for.
Access KS3 resources is a bundle of content within Access GCSEPod, the ultimate digital learning solution for secondary schools. Giving you everything you need to help students from years 7-11 on their journey to GCSE success.
Students can track their progress through the platform's formative assessment tools, and teachers have access to valuable data on their students' strengths and weaknesses. This data can be used to personalise learning, identify areas where additional support may be required, and provide feedback to students.
Want to stretch and challenge students, and encourage them to excel in language skills and literary analysis? The interactive nature of our content keeps students motivated and excited about the world of English language and literature.
We aim to make maths an enjoyable and memorable learning experience. We stress real-world applications, helping students understand the practical relevance of mathematics in their lives. This approach fosters a deeper understanding and more informed responses.
Our units begin with British medieval history and encompass a rich tapestry of topics, including the Tudors and Stuarts, the Industrial Revolution, World War I and World War II, as well as concluding with the exploration of Civil Rights in both the USA and the UK.
Equip your students with the knowledge to excel in their own scientific investigations. Aligned with the National Curriculum, our units are thoughtfully organised into separate courses, covering Biology, Chemistry and Physics
Our Geography curriculum empowers students to become informed and responsible global citizens. With a focus on critical thinking, problem-solving, and geographical inquiry, they'll gain the skills to navigate our ever-changing world with confidence.
We believe KS3 computing should be fun, engaging, and relevant to the real world. Our lessons focus on practical applications, showing students how computing shapes the technology they use every day.
Our "Getting Ready for KS4" content is here to ensure a smooth transition for your students from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 4. Our comprehensive program offers subject-specific courses that bridge the gap between our existing KS3 content and our established GCSE playlists.
Save time, reduce workload, and gain accurate insights into your new students’ abilities
Our Transition Assessments mirror the SATs papers taken at the end of KS2 but give year 7 teachers an accurate, up to the moment overview of student ability. Not only that, teachers will be able to use the results from our Transition Assessments to identify areas of strength and weakness, both for individual students and across larger groups.
Completely self-marking maths assessments and partially self-marking English assessments, with marking support provided for written answers, these assessments will save teachers valuable time and provide an accurate view of knowledge and ability at the start of KS3.
Our Key Stage 3 learning resources feature comprehensive content broken down into easily-digestible units and lessons, with a mix of audio-visual learning and formative assessment to enhance the learning experience. Our immersive and interactive online teaching resources engage students in a way that traditional textbooks and classroom learning cannot match.
