Recently remade for J277!
I have created revision cards for all topics in the OCR Computer Science GCSE (J277). These are used by my current Year 11 Cohort, they have found them quite effective as support tools in lessons and revision at home. I allow students to use them whilst answering question in lesson so that they are focusing on exam techniques whilst absorbing the subject knowledge too.
I have created a revision wall by printing each card in A3 and arranging it on the wall. Students can consult the wall if they are stuck.
All the cards have been designed to be printed double sided on the short edge, This is so that the topic name is on the back. All cards are using the ‘OpenDyslexic’ font, this can be seen on the PDF’s. Formatting may differ on the publisher document if you do not have the font installed.
This pack consists of the original publisher file as well as a PDF of all the cards too. I have also created a PDF of each set of cards that represent each separate paper of the OCR course.
Enjoy!
UPDATE# I have added the Pseudocode Programming Techniques page, to match up with the Question Cards
This is primarily for the Edexcel Computer Science (GCSE), 2020 specification. Some notes can be used for the OCR specification too.
This booklet covers all the topics you require for the qualification, providing summary notes and exam-style quizzes for students to complete. This booklet should be used to cover topics after you have taught all the lessons required.
Notes and quizzes are included for the following:
Logic and truth tables
Programming languages
Binary
Data representation
Networks
Software
Data storage & compression
Network security & cybersecurity
Hardware
Programming (theory)
Issues & impacts
Recently remade specifically for J277!
I have created revision mats/knowledge organisers for all topics in the OCR Computer Science GCSE (J277). I have found them particularly handy as homework for a topic or as a recap when finished the delivery of a topic.
These are designed using the ‘OpenDyslexic’ font, this can be seen on the PDF’s. Formatting may differ on the publisher document if you do not have the font installed.
This pack consists of the original publisher file as well as a PDF of all the mats too.
Enjoy!

There is a variety of different styles of activities to keep your pupils engaged while embedding key skills.
Grab your copy today and you can use them immediately with no additional preparation.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
12 PDF worksheets and a comprehensive teacher’s guide that includes all the answers to make your life easier.
They can be used in sequence or you can mix and match them as you need them. These worksheets use AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR and XOR logic gates and notation (see preview images for examples of the exact notation that it used).
Pupils will learn how to fill in truth tables, identify logic gates, draw logic circuits and solve logic circuits (entering 1 or 0 depending on the logic gate).
The teacher’s guide describes how each worksheet can be used, the skills it helps pupils develop as well as giving you all the answers.
HOW CAN I USE THEM?
These attractive logic gate and truth table worksheets can be used in the classroom, for summative assessment, for homework tasks or as a revision aid when revisiting the topic. They are ideal for GCSE computer science pupils.
You can print the worksheets out and ask the pupils to fill them in by hand, however 7 of the worksheets are also interactive and can be filled in on-screen saving on printing costs. The only ones that are not interactive are ones that require pupils to draw their own logic circuits and so printing them and filling in by hand is the easier option.

This SoW has been developed to fit in with the current National Curriculum for Computer Science, as well as preparing students to study Computer Science at GCSE and beyond. It is designed to be taught in 1 hour of lessons a week, throughout years 7-9, but many topics can be readily adapted and indeed, should be!
Update Sept 2021: Google have recently applied a security update, which means the previously public links no longer work. I have updated them in this document, but if you are using an older version of the PDF, these may no longer work. Please can you use the new links, and let me know if you have any issues accessing the resources.
Please note: As I am no longer teaching, this resource is not being updated or maintained, and some links may no longer be available. If anyone would like to take on the maintenance and update of these, please do let me know, as I just don’t have the time otherwise.
Some units of work included in this have been tested, and developed with students, however, most remain untested, and may need adapting when in front of a class. This SoW has been designed to provide a structured course, which should be developed further within your department.
An outline of the whole 3 years can be found here.
The purpose of this document is to walk through the structure of the course for the 3 years, and provide links to the appropriate documents where available. An online version can be found here.
