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!
Logic gate worksheet progressing from the basic input tables and single logic gates through to logic expressions and using symbols within the notation. These 6 sides of work can be used in lesson, starter, revision or as an end of unit assessment. Answers also included.
50 Question multiple choice revision quiz for GCSE Computer Science. Ideal class activity testing knowledge and understanding of content from different parts of the specification. Suitable for students who have completed or nearly completed the course as part of a revision lesson and helps with developing memory recall skills. Fully editable with ‘Ask me’ to give all students opportunities to answer.
The quiz makes use of a 15 second timer to encourage quick thinking and improve speed of knowledge recall, after which the question is covered, only leaving the possible answers. Incorrect answers chosen are highlighted red to provide instant feedback to the students during the quiz and allowing for opportunities to discuss the correct answer.
When playing the presentation, the quiz is navigated by on-screen buttons to encourage students to answer all questions rather than skipping through to ensure that they are familiar with these topics and consolidate their learning across the course. This also provides opportunities for students to identify areas of weakness where they need to focus their revision.
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

DESCRIPTION
Drawing on my experience as a student who achieved an A* in GCSE Computer Science, and who continues to study computing at a college level, with an extensive analysis of notes, mark schemes and examiner reports, I’ve created a revision booklet that cover every expectation for the Computer Science subject on the Edexcel (and some OCR) specification.
These notes are presented in an easy-to-use revision note, then question format. Colour coding, diagrams and a simple layout makes learning easy.
Having refined these over my final years in high school, I’ve seen first-hand the results they can achieve. I’m confident that they will be an invaluable tool to you.
TOPICS INCLUDED (ANALYSIS & INFORMATION)
Logic and Truth Tables
Programming Languages
Binary Systems
Data Representation
Computer Networks
Software Development
Data Storage & Compression
Network Security & Cybersecurity
Computer Hardware
Programming Theory
Ethical, Legal, and Environmental Issues
This is the entire theoretical side computer science course, broken down into short concise revision notes. Allowing students to summaries, consolidate, and solidify knowledge. Acting as an intermediate between conventional revision cards and revision guides, it acts as a comparable revision aid blending both the advantages of a revision guide (longer, more in-depth knowledge) and revision notes (easy, learnable, portable last stop)
Attached, is both the pdf and the ppt of each section. From 1-6, based on the categories given in the specification materials:
Topic 1: Problem solving
Topic 2: Programming
Topic 3: Data
Topic 4: Computers
Topic 5: Communication and the internet
Topic 6: The bigger picture
As Topic 1 & 2 (CS1&2) is heavily practical based, much of the content/specification points have been left as this resource mainly focuses on the theory and less so practical content.
This is the accumulation of years of teaching and revision strategies and hours or tweaking. I have made a workbook with answers which will prepare any students for the J277 OCR COmputer Science Component 2 paper.
Each section has quick tasks aimed at getting students to recap their knowledge. This is currently used by all students to see where they need to spend time revising.
Then there are 10 much wider questions which is aimed at deepening the students’ understanding. The questions are tiered in difficulty. These all have model answers. There are then example exam questions with answers
There is also a coding section with tasks aimed at getting students to practice the programming skills they could be asked to demonstrate in the exam. Again each program has a model answer.
I’m happy to make any further amendments if there is something specific you need, please message me on here.
I will also be making a Paper 1 version.
I have now completed Component 1 and 2 workbooks. They have everything you need for successful teaching and learning, homework, flipped learning, study support or whatever you OCR J277 need may be.
This workbook is designed to be printed and given to each student. I currently use them as homework books for Y10 and Revision/Challenge booklets for Y11. The students love them and my colleague love how simple they are to use.
They are designed with teachers and students in mind. They prepare students for the exam and minimise impact on teacher time.
Each section has a simple student-friendly section which shows them what they need to know about this topic. Then there are quick tasks which can be starters or recaps. Then there are progressively harder questions which are not exam based but aimed at really pushing students to understand the content. Finally there are exam questions.
All tasks have model answers in the teacher’s workbook which make marking and feedback really easy.
At the end of each section there is a memory dump. For this I have my students write down everything they think they know about the topic. As we progress they correct this. There is then a space for metacognition/revision planning and key words for this topic. FInally a blank page. Use this how you like. My students use this as a knowledge organiser or positive doodler linked to the topic.
This bundle has revision notes for the full Edexcel International GCSE ICT (4IT1) Course.
This includes summary revision notes, organized by specification points, and structured according to examiner expecations and mark scheme responses.
The notes go from Unit 1 to Unit 4, which are the four units assessed on Paper 1 (Theory Paper), which carries 50% of the full course grade.
Exam packs can also be found on the online store for each unit.
