Learning Platforms
Many subjects use Microsoft 365 One Drive or SharePoint to provide resources and course content to students. The internet is also an incredible resource for learning, but it can be difficult to know where to start. There are great free resources such as BBC Bitesize GCSE or Seneca Learning that contain notes, exercises, revision guides and clips broken down by subject and exam board.
The Westgate School also subscribes to various online learning platforms that can support our students’ understanding and progress across many different subjects.
