UP LEARN WEBINAR

GCSE Science: Real school insights

How South Malton Community College is using Up Learn to close knowledge gaps and what makes it stand out from other learning tools they’ve tried

This isn’t a product demo. It’s an honest look at how Up Learn’s GCSE Science course is designed with cognitive science at its core. You’ll hear from a real partner school and the impact they’ve seen after rolling it out to their students. We’ll also cover what you can do now to get ahead over the summer as you finalise next year’s budget.

If you’re making decisions about next year’s Science provision, this is a 45-minute webinar you won’t want to miss.

WEBINAR AGENDA

What this 45-minute webinar covers:

🏫 South Molton Community College: sharing real results from the classroom

Rachel Williams shares the school’s first-hand experience with GCSE Science, including:

  • How they’ve implemented the course
  • What changes they’ve seen in the classroom
  • What separates GCSE Science from other learning tools they’ve tried

🧠 The cognitive science behind the content

How Up Learn manages cognitive load and why examples and non-examples are central to our lesson design. Plus what the research says about why our approach outperforms passive revision tools.

🎬 A quick tour of the GCSE Science course

Bite-size animated videos, mid-video quizzes, and smart routing work together to build genuine understanding, not surface recall.

📊 The teacher dashboard in practice

Track sections mastered and spot knowledge gaps by topic before you teach a lesson that builds on them. Monitor assignment completion across individual students, classes, or the whole department.

💬 Live Q&A

Bring your questions. Our team and South Molton will answer them directly.

‘I think it’s genius because it tackles the forgetting curve. By the time you get to the end of a section, there’s no way you can’t know it.’
