you'd do fine -- ocr is quite a nice board and you've got 2 years; the coding paper doesn't rlly have much coding and mroe stuff to do with algorithms (e.g. binary sort and bubble search) but you'll learn all that in y10
i didn't find it too difficult if im honest

Ask around at your school and ask if it's right for you. Coding is really easy to pick up, but if you know the theory, which is databases, hardware/software, e-safety, TCP/IP layer, databases (including SQL) that's the majority of the course covered. I strongly recommend Comp Sci for you.
The course tends to have both 2 papers, one focused on programming and a little bit of theory, and the other which is theory-heavy. You will also have an NEA (which is usually a program that's completed in school), but you'll most likely do it in late Y10.
Your school most likely offers OCR - and it's quite a nice spec compared to what I got with AQA, otherwise they'll probably go with AQA (like literally no-one does Edexcel for comp sci).
Hope this helps

i chose computer science knowing nothing and im struggling barely passing, it is do able if you focus your time on it but you wont have much time with your other subjects. if you are committed to revising hard on it then its very do able to do well in and will look great in your cv!
