GCSE PHYSICAL EDUCATION - Practical performances and assessments

GCSE PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Practical performances and
       assessments

Aim of this presentation
• Help explain the process of the Non-Examined
                Assessment (NEA)

  • Ensure all parents and students are fully
    informed and aware of the specific exam
                 requirements.

 • Provide clarity (with examples) of practical
     performances and video expectations.

Breakdown of GCSE Final Grade

  (Practical)   3 x sports = 30%

  (Coursework) 1 x written = 10%

  (Theory)      1 x 1.5hr exam = 30%
                1 x 1.5hr exam = 30%

Practical Assessments – x3

• 1 x Individual
• 1 x Team
• 1 x Individual/Team

Practical Assessments – IN SCHOOL
‘Usually’
   •   Football
   •   Rugby
   •   Hockey
   •   Netball
   •   Handball

• Each student will receive a mark out of 25
• Video evidence will be collected to justify marks for the
  exam board.

Why………………..?
    Does it appear so difficult to get full marks
          when my child is really good?

  • 23/25 = Grade 9 (equivalent to A**) – exceptional
                      performance

• 17/25 = Grade 5 (equivalent to high C) – good standard

What if………………..

 Teacher has awarded 15/25 but my son plays
 football for Leeds Utd and surely must be full
                     marks?

What if………………..
          FURTHER VIDEO EVIDENCE NEEDED!
  If your son/daughter is playing at a higher standard
  outside of school additional video footage must be
                      submitted.

                         +
 Footage in school             Supporting footage

What if………………..
  My child does an activity/sport outside of
school that can’t be completed in school (golf,
             horse riding, diving)

           • VIDEO
               VIDEOEVIDENCE
                     EVIDENCENEEDED!
                              NEEDED!

What is needed in the video evidence?

Each Practical Assessment:
• Drills/skills (Part 1) out of 10
• Full competitive context/match/event (Part 2)
  out of 15
