BBC GCSE Bitesize - as ever, BBC online comes up trumps with an excellent site covering education at all childhood ages. Everything from business studies to Spanish is in the GCSE section, and the online crib sheets are supplemented with an "ask the teacher" feature.

BBC Education Web Guide - A Searchable directory of more than 3000 hand-picked educational websites. If Mum and Dad can't remember what Pythagoras had to say about right-angled triangles, here's where they'll find out.

The Learning store - The Learning Store has more educational software than you can shake a battered text book at, with more than 1.000 programs and a special section devoted to GCSE. Programs cost £20 - Cheap at twice the price.

Homework High - A very American- sounding effort from Channel 4 which takes a question- and- answer approach to helping with English, Maths, Science, Geography and History. Children can search the library to see if their question has already been asked and answered, and if it hasn't, they can request help from the online experts.

SAM Learning - Claims to be the only internet-based exam revision product endorsed by the National Association of Head Teachers, and is certainly very impressive. Plenty of well laid out learning guides and sample exam papers in printer friendly format with help for A-levels as well as GCSE.

Learnfree - Designed more for parents than children. Learnfree helps grown-ups find out what their kids are (or should be) learning at school. Also has some nifty recipes to help pack those lunchboxes with brainfood.

GCSE.com - A rather ropey-looking site, but one which has plenty of help for students struggling with maths and English. Aims to cater for classes of mixed abilities

Revise It - Run by students for students, so you get the feeling they know what this years candidates are up against. revise-It provides the usual revision guides, online tests, study tips and discussion groups - and throws music into the mix just for good measure

Digital Brain - Student, teachers, parents are catered for by Digital brain, a site which enables students to create your own customised pages listing links and information for the subjects they're specifically interested in.

SchoolsNet - Quite possibly the least alluring web address, but a good site nevertheless. Nice last-minute revision units
