Free would be amazing but willing to pay. Planning to sit igcse not sure about which subjects so looking for suitable resources to ensure we can definitely make them happen. Dc is academic. Thanks!

If you'd consider GCSE rather than IGCSE, Oak Academy is free and has video lessons uploaded (Not live). Year listing | Oak National Academy It was created during covid so follows the curriculum and was made by teachers. It also has various interactive resources, so if you're working with your dc you can access them through the 'teachers portal', and mark the work afterwards.

There's an online school called 'Interschool' (I think) for kids who can't do mainstream school due to things like acting, athletics regime etc. I think it's meant to be v good. A family member did v well with it.

Thank you, not considering gcse only igcse . @Juicecharger thanks we are in the ‘doing gcse around sports training’ gang so that is interesting. However we have sooo much on including morning and evening training plus competitions etc. do you know if inter high is prerecorded. I think dc would do better if they can study whenever they want as there are days when they’re so done from training and then better days when there’s less on.

We used Southwest Science school, Absolute Maths, Learntec ( computer science), Humanatees (geography and history) and Homemade Education (English). All did video lessons so you could do not live and set work to do/marked it. Would recommend them all - reasonably priced and really well structured. Took quite a bit of the stress out.

We use Wolsey Hall (Cambridge iGCSE), Pembrokeshire college online (Pearson iGCSE), and Oxford Learning Online (Pearson iGCSE).

All really excellent. All book-based. No videos, no time constraints.

We do Pearson iGCSEs partly because they exams can be sat at home with webcam invigilation, so no need to travel to an exam centre.

@ItsProperlyColdOut thank you that’s a good tip about being able to do the exams at home as well I didn’t even know that was possible yet!
