UPDATED TO INCLUDE 2025 series. A complete breakdown of the 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 exam papers for both components 1 and 2 for the OCR GCSE Computer Science specification (J277). Each paper has been mapped out to include the specification points covered and the questions asked. Questions have been colour coded to show repetition over the 3 past-papers. Each paper also has a clear matrix mapped to the specification to help see which specification points are questioned more often, and which have been questioned least often. I use this as a revision tool with my classes to ensure they know the key knowledge for the types of questions that appear every year. I also use it to try to predict what may appear in the next summer exam series (which worked to great effect in summer 2024 when ‘Operating Systems’ was questioned after seeing it had not appeared on the 2022 or 2023 paper!).

A revision booklet with revision theory and questions for Paper 2 in the OCR J277 Computer Science specification. A range of questions are included in the booklet, and answers are included.

5 Computational thinking lessons for GCSE. Each lesson includes three levels of differentiation by task rather than outcome. Each lesson has an engaging starter activity that students can get on with straight away. The lessons were originally written to be used with exercise books as well as some computer based work but could easily be adapted to make them 100% computer based. The lessons cover abstraction, decomposition and algorithmic thinking. Programming opportunities are included (python) as well as links to identifying programming errors and flowcharts. Lessons include literacy and reading opportunities.

Ideally printed on A3, students write about each part of the computer shown in the boxes and label the parts they can see. Space for teacher feedback and a gap task/extension/homework task to find one more part of the computer and define/label it. I've used this with year 7, but equally would suit up to GCSE and as low as year 5/6. Enjoy!

This is the first on a series on using pseudocode in the IB Computer Science syllabus.

This careers poster allows you to easily display some Computer Science career ideas, making it convenient for students start thinking about the future. Ideal for classrooms! You will receive 1 instant downloadable JPEG file in size A4. Please leave a review if you have enjoyed this product :)
