Assessment:
In PE, we use a performance profile to assess students. Assessments happen at the beginning and end of each topic. This method of assessment is designed to facilitate pupils to engage with deeper thinking and to learn to target specific areas of their performance in order to improve. A grade is a mark out of 20 made up of the following 5 segments, each being marked out of 4; 0 being the lowest and 4 being the highest.
Pupils will be given a grade for effort every grade collection. At the end of the year they will receive a “J grade” based on their strongest 3 sports. From this, it can be either 1 team sport and 2 individual sports or 1 individual sport and 2 team sports.
ROS = Range of skills
QOS = Quality of skills
DM = Decision making
PA = Physical attributes
ATT = Attitude
How can parents help?
Anything parents can do to encourage pupils to achieve the 4 key aims of the course will be immensely valued. Parents can particularly help by:
- Ensuring pupils are appropriately equipped and organised.
- Checking the extra-curricular timetable in order to encourage students to attend extra-curricular sports clubs.
- Where possible helping pupils to discover new sports out of school by joining clubs or trying out new activities.
- Fostering and environment where healthy living and physical activity are valued and encouraged.

GCSE PE Command Words
KS4 - Core PE and BTEC Sport
Key stage 4
In KS4 pupils get some choice in the way they wish to progress. All pupils take “Core PE” where they will continue to develop in line with what they studied at KS3. This ensures all pupils continue to experience the wide-ranging benefits of physical activity, even though they are not studying it as a GCSE option.
Pearson BTEC L1/L2 Award in Sport (equivalent to 1 GCSE)
At present when taking PE as an option subject at KS4, pupils will be enrolled to our BTEC Sport L2 course.
What does the qualification cover?
This course provides an engaging and relevant introduction to the world of sport. It incorporates important aspects of the industry, such as fitness testing and training for sport and exercise, the psychology of sport, practical sports performance and sports leadership. It enables you to develop and apply your knowledge, while also developing a range of relevant practical, communication and technical skills.
The qualification is 120 guided learning hours, which is the same size and level as a GCSE, and aimed at everyone who wants to find out more about the sport industry.
You will study four units, covering the underpinning knowledge and skills required for the sports sector:
â fitness for sport and exercise
â practical performance in sport
â applying the principles of personal training.
â leading sports activities.
How will I be assessed?
You will carry out tasks/assignments throughout the course. Your teacher will mark these, and so you will receive feedback as to how you are getting on. For the assessment for Unit 3 Applying the Principles of Personal Training, you will be able to draw on the knowledge, skills and understanding you have developed in the qualification as a whole.
The assessment for Unit 1: Fitness for Sport and Exercise is an onscreen test which is marked by Pearson.
Where will this take me?
If you are interested in taking your study of sport further, the subject-specific knowledge and skills outlined above, and developed through studying this qualification, will give you a strong foundation for academic or vocational study at level 3, including apprenticeships.
