I have created this marking grid to use with the OCR Computer Science 9-1 June 2018 papers. When marking the mock exams for my Year 11, if they show some knowledge of the topic, I will put the marks awarded in the ‘Knowledge demonstrated’ column, whereas if they get low or 0 marks, I will put the mark in the ‘Area for further revision’ column. This way, when students receive their feedback, they can target revision at their weaker areas prior to re-testing. I hope it can be of use. Thanks for taking an interest in this resource.

Help your students learn those little facts that will gain the identify or state questions in the GCSE Computer Science 9-1 exams. Little nuggets of revision - “cut-out and stick on this fridge/mirror or anywhere in the house where you’ll see it.” I have now created these for all the topics in Component 1 & Component 2, and have put them in a bundle. As I create revision resources, I will also create more bundles to help students prepare for the exam.

A lesson which worked well with a high and low ability Year 10 class. They had struggled with the Statement of Account, but through this presentation, by the end of the lesson, all students were much more confident on the topic.

Developed this resource as alternative end of unit test for the students. It combined questions on: Business enterprise, business activity, business sectors and business ownership The financial document trail. It was differentiated so students chose the question they felt most confident answering. The rule was a few sentences for bronze, a paragraph for silver and two paragraphs for gold. It worked well, and demonstrated the progress students had made in the half term.
