GCSE Pod and SENECA Learning

There are two main revision sites that students can use for revision. These are to support students with revision for most of their subjects. 

Students have accounts for both GCSE Pod and SENECA Learning. Their username will be their Prospere email address (for example 24AB01@Prospere.org.uk). Their passwords have been shared with them already, but if they forget and need a reminder, they can ask a teacher in school or get in contact with Mr Rayworth on Microsoft Teams or in school in F49. 

Below is a short video presentation about how best to use each Revision Site for preparing for Exams. 

CHS Student Intranet

Please use link below to access our student intranet site. Here you will find additional resources and revision tools. There are copies of their revision lists, PLC's, Knowledge organisers and lots of other tips and hints to use throughout the exam preparation.

Exam Certificates

Leavers can ussually collect their certificates from November.

A KS3 Awards evening invite will go out to all pupils nearer the time.

Students who have left within the last 3 years can collect their certificates from the school reception between 8.30am and 3pm, Monday to Friday.

If you left school 3 or more years ago, please contact the relevant Awarding Body to discuss retrieval of results and certificates.

Certificates must be collected by the student where possible. If you wish for someone else to collect them on your behalf, please make sure that the appointed person has a signed letter from you and has identification with them. Please be aware that we cannot post certificates under any circumstances.

If you have lost or damaged your certificates, you must contact the relevant Awarding Bodies to arrange a replacement. School can provide a printed copy of your results on school headed paper if required.
