You will need to download the Open Dyslexia font for the older resources, newer (post 2022 resources) are all on a yellow background and with a comic sans font (as advised by the BDA). I am Head of Faculty at a high performing secondary school set in a challenging location, Specialist in Computer Science and Business. P8 scores in the first year using these resources jumped by over 1 whole grade (from -1.17 to +0.51). All revisions lessons have multiple past paper style exam questions.

2.1 Algorithms/Pseudocode Exam Style Questions and Answers

(0)
5 pages of exam style questions (these have been created by myself in the format of OCR exam questions), with the answers (and examples) written on the following sheet. If printed back to back it provides students with exam question practice, in a booklet format, with answers for KS4 students to peer/self-assess the answers. This is a brilliant revision resource for a topic that covered 19 out of 80 marks on last years paper! Can be given to students as a homework/revision resource or used as part of a lesson (or 2 or 3) for writing pseudocode. This revision guide covers: algorithms pseudocode functions procedures IF statements loops MOD DIV constants variables
NEA Paper 2 Booklet

NEA Paper 2 Booklet

(0)
OCR GCSE Computer Science NEA work booklet. This booklet is designed to link the seemingly worthless NEA into a practical task that can be directly linked into various topics in paper 2. The booklet is 10 pages long (including a front page and contents page). It has exam style questions that bridge the gap between the NEA program and paper 2 concepts. It covers 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.5, with questions created in an exam style format, but linked directly to the NEA. The idea behind the booklet is that students complete this as they work through the NEA. They can either have short sessions in lesson completing topics, or complete it for homework after covering the content in lesson. A brilliant idea that makes completing the NEA much more efficient and effective.
