GCSE Computer Science

Updates to some of the guidance and resource documents for the programming project

We have updated our specification and programming project guidance to help clarify that evidence of the delivery of the 20 timetabled hours on the programming project must be submitted to OCR. You should submit this evidence along with your sample of work and CCS161 form. To help you record the 20 hours, we have a programming project tracking sheet you can use, and we will remind you again nearer the time about submitting this to us.

We have also made some minor updates to the template for the programming project report template which we hope will make it easier for your students to use.

Finally, following our previous communication about our decision to continue to use the current programming project tasks for the 2021 series, we have now updated the programming project guidance and programming project tasks front cover to reflect this.

If you have any queries about this update, please email computerscience@ocr.org.uk or call 01223 553998.
