This section contain podcasts created by Brakenhale's ICT teachers to help students revise these subjects.

Web Links  arrow
The weblinks section contains links to some of the well-known and very useful web sites such as SAM learning and BBC Bitesize; these are great for homework and revision. We have added a few others that may help students to plan and prepare for exams.

This is just the starting point, if you know of a site, even if it is subject specific, please share it with us so that we can consider it for adding to our web lists. Please contact me by e-mail on hthomas@brakenhale.bracknell-forest.sch.uk.
