Revision resources

We provide knowledge organisers for all the units covered through Year 10 for the R081 unit as this is assessed through an exam. Pupils should use these to revise for recall tests throughout the year and for the three formal assessments.

There are revision guides which have been published for this course by GCSE Simplified, Hodder and CGP. Whichever publisher, it is important that pupils use a revision guide specifically for OCR Cambridge National Sports Science qualification (Sept 22 First teaching). Periodically we do make a school order for revision guides.
