Introduction
Dear Parents/Carers and Students
Re: Spring Assessments
Part of school life is taking exams. We recognise that the lack of face to face teaching in recent weeks has led
to gaps in knowledge for some of our students. As such, students will be completing assessments in core
subjects to allow teachers to identify strengths and any areas where more support may be needed. This will
help support the catch up programme for students in the wake of remote learning.
The results of these assessments will be shared with students and parents in a progress review report at the
end of the term. Students will receive a report which details the percentage outcome from each
assessment alongside the average percentage outcome for the class. This will enable parents to assess
progress alongside the average outcome for the class and to see if your child is progressing at the
expected standard for the group following the learning covered. More information will be provided
alongside the assessment outcome results later in the term.
We want students to have the opportunity to be fully prepared for their assessments and have organised this
booklet to help support revision and organisation of time. The Spring assessments will begin on Monday 19th
April and finish on Friday 30th April. Teachers will advise students on how to use this booklet in lessons. It
can also be used to help students study at home to help remember and recall information. As such, it is vitally
important that students bring this booklet into school every day to use in lessons as well as home.
We recognise that sometimes assessment season can cause some students to feel anxious or stressed.
If you have any concerns or worries please contact the Head of Year via the school telephone or email
below.
We want this to be a positive experience that supports and develops the skills and resilience in
preparation for future examinations. If you need any further support, guidance or information please do not
hesitate in contacting us.
Yours faithfully
Mr R Poole Ms E O’Connor

Percentages
Work out 15% of £600.
15% = 10% + 5%
so
10 % of £600 = 600 ÷ 10 = £60
5% of £600 = 60 ÷ 2 = £30
So: 15% = 10% + 5% = £60 + £30 = £90

differences in the terms. Get someone to test you. Get them to read one out and you guess if it’s a rule or a regulation.
See if you know the scoring system for various sports.
There are many types of SPORTS – they fall into categories:
INDIVIDUAL SPORTS – individual, performing on their own, using their own skill set to win.Eg. Gymnastics.
TEAM SPORTS – individuals using their skills to work as a team and win. Eg. Football.
ADAPTED SPORTS – sports altered to facilitate the athletes who have one or more impairment. Eg. Wheelchair Basketball
or athletics.
OUTDOOR ADVENTUROUS ACTIVITIES (OAA) – high intensity sports – land based eg. Mountaineering, or sea based eg.

All sports have rules and regulations set by

sport.
• Time
i.e. The Football Association/UK Athletics
• Officials (e.g. Referee, judge, umpire, starter, timekeeper)
Officials: Different sport have different types of officials. Sport require referee, umpires, time keepers and even 3 rd, 4th and 5th officials.
SCORING SYSTEMS
Every sport is scored slightly differently. Most games require a team to score more than their opponents or reach a set number of points.
Most racket sports require the performer to get an object to land in the opponent’s court and for it not to be returned.
Other sports like athletics are scored by timings or a measurement of distance/height.
Gymnastics events are scored by judges who grade a performance. Hawk eye technology is

Up to 3 umpires will control a cricket game and tennis umpires now have the use
of video technology to assist them.
Officials' responsibilities are...
• Health and safety
• Communication with players
• Maintain own fitness
• Appearance
• Fair Play
• What else?????
Aerobic endurance:
This is also known as stamina or Cardiovascular Endurance...
“‘The ability of the cardio-respiratory system to supply oxygen to working muscles
during sustained physical activity’.”
Training increases the efficiency of the heart to transport oxygen to working muscles.
Cardiovascular endurance is key for recreational activities such as walking and events
such as running, canoeing and cycling.
Muscular endurance involves repeated contractions of a period of time.
This component of fitness is essential for a 400m runner, and a badminton player.
“The ability to use voluntary muscles, over long periods of time without getting tired”
Skill differs from ability in that it is not natural, skills are learnt.
They are developed from ability after a period of practice. To produce a skilled performance, the player must practise regularly.
Tactics are a method of play that enable a team or individual to outwit an opponent. The following list is examples of tactical demands used
commonly in sport – use of space, marking, formations, mind games with opponent, decision-making with experience, players chosen, set
plays…etc
Techniques are the parts that make up a whole skill. The bowling technique can
i.e. Spin bowlers and fast bowlers in cricket have different technique but are still both ‘bowling’. also be broken down in
small parts.
Technical demands
These are the techniques needed in each sport
and can be categorised into various types of
skills:
• Continuous skills i.e. Running
• Serial skills i.e. High jump
• Discrete skills i.e. Golf swing
• Movement specific skills i.e. somersault in
gymnastics
