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.

GCSE Computer Science Paper 1 Revision Bundle. 5 PPTs for at least 5 lessons in total (over 100 slides).
Includes a range of revision activities in each PPT, from quick quizzes to retrieval questions. Content includes animated demos for some key content. Answers are provided via animations on each of the slides.
Content is aimed at OCR GCSE Computer Science but could be used for some other specs (please cross check the specifications you are using).
Aimed at year 11 revision for the lessons leading upto the exam/mock exam.
25 Lessons covering all of the paper 2 content for the new GCSE OCR Computer Science Spec (J277). This also fits in with the older spec but does not contain 2.6.
Covers tricky content such as how to write algorithms, programming concepts, IDEs and Logic Gates.
You will not be disappointed.
Buy yourself some time and save on mass planning, or use these lessons and improve them even further to suit your classes.
P8 scores from my last year (co2019 - pre-covid19) were +0.41 - up from -1.17 previously before I started the school.
All lessons are designed to be written into books by students. All are clearly labelled and sequenced to follow from the previous lesson, building in recaps and stretch/challenge exercises.
Over 1000 slides worth of work. A bargain.
62 x 1 hour lessons that cover the entire course! Including some great lessons on tricky topics such as Networks, Logic Gates, Binary/Hex and writing code.
Entire set of lessons planned on PowerPoint for both paper 1 and paper 2 of GCSE OCR Computer Science (will benefit other exam boards as well). This is planned for the new spec J277 released for this coming year.
Each unit has in-depth lessons planned, in font OpenDyslexic, on SEND friendly background, and with clear Bell Works / Objectives & Outcomes / content tasks to learn / exam questions to practice.
There are no logos on any of the PPTs and there are well over 2000 slides of information here.
I planned these during 2018-19 and progress in the subject at my new school went from -0.05 to +0.41 in a year! Predictions for this year were record breaking again at ~+0.8! The attainment was also the highest the school had ever had, and we had a very large mixed ability cohort in both years.
These lessons able you to read over them for 5 minutes then off you go teaching, with only your pointer needed.
Example answers to the questions are given to aid students with effective modelling - showing exactly where the marks are gained.
For the more challenging content recap sessions are in-built for the following lesson.
Note: 1.6 only has 1 lesson on laws - the rest of the lessons on ethics etc are covered in class by a series of videos (not able to include these) and discussions - I have found this more useful when revising the topic in year 11 and students have done similar topics in other subjects (RS etc).
The content is as follows:
- 1.1 - 4 lesson PPTs
- 1.2 - 13 lesson PPTs
- 1.3 - 13 lesson PPTs
- 1.4 - 3 lesson PPTs
- 1.5 - 3 lesson PPTs
- 1.6 - 1 lesson PPT
- 2.1 - 9 lesson PPTs
- 2.2 - 8 lesson PPTs
- 2.3 - 3 lesson PPTs
- 2.4 - 3 lesson PPTs
- 2.5 - 2 lesson PPTs
All are very clearly labelled and numbered to keep them in order.
You will not be disappointed!
But you will save a huge amount of time!!!
3 PPTs that are fantastic for GCSE OCR Paper 2 Revision. Lots of past paper style exam questions, answers for each question perfectly animated onto the screen in a timely fashion.
Lots of retrieval activities in between exam questions that help students recall key concepts. 60 slides in total covering a range of key topics on the paper 2 GCSE OCR exam.
A full set of lessons to cover all content in 2.3 of GCSE OCR Computer Science. There is also an intro to binary to help students with 2.4 (subsequent lesson). Designed for fast pace delivery.
3 weeks worth of lessons - following on from the opening lessons for OCR Computer Science GCSE these lessons cover storage and memory (RAM and types of storage). This comes complete with an end of topic assessment with an easy marking box at the end.
This could be used as a revision guide for year 11, assessment points throughout the year, or a weekly homework booklet for the duration of the course.
64 page booklet with contents page, sets of exam style questions for each unit (1.1 to 2.6, in order) for OCR GCSE Computer Science. Created in a style so that students can spend around 10 minutes on a particular unit of questions then mark their own work using the internet/revision guides for help.
Each unit has a revise/re-read/expert box at the end so students can log how they feel for each unit and revise those that are priority to them.
Throughout are small, inspirational quotes to help motivate students.
Absolutely brilliant resources, particularly for those students who “don’t know how to revise” or “don’t know what to revise” or “don’t know what to do to revise”. This has been great for those “hard to engage” students.
Relatively cheap to print (cost me £1.08 per booklet to print - this will depend on your own school’s printing costs).
