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.

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.

Paper 2 - Entire lesson set for OCR GCSE Computer Science (J277) - New spec

(0)
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.
