Yr 10 GCSE PE Information Evening

Expectations  1 Double practical lesson each week  Bring kit (even if you have a note for illness/injury)  Bring folder, as you may be given information sheets for the practical work

 1 single theory lesson each week  Bring folder  Homework usually set in this lesson, for the following week.

Practical Work  This forms 60% of the overall mark.  We do a different activity each half term.  There will be a teacher assessment at the end of each half term  All the practical work is formally assessed in a final assessment just before Easter in Year 11.

How do we choose the practical areas you use?  You will be assessed in lessons in all the following areas:  Hockey  Badminton  Athletics  Rounders  Personal Survival  Netball/Football

Pupil: Miss Munn  Hockey6  Badminton7  Athletics8  Rounders8  Personal Survival5  Netball/Football10  The activities in red are the 4 that I would use.

Activities out of school  Golf  Horse Riding  Karate  Gymnastics  Dance  You take the criteria to your coach, and they give you a teacher assessment that we add to your data. This can be included in your final 4 activities.

Analysis of Performance  One of your final 4 activities, needs to be used as your analysis of performance area.  This should be the sport that you know the most about.

5 assessed areas of AOP  Rules, regulations, terminology  Observe, analyse performance  Evaluate Performance  Plan strategies, tactics, practices  Plan a Personal Exercise programme

Controlled Assessment  AOP is tested by a 15 min verbal exam with a member of PE staff.  You will be asked questions on the first 4 areas, and given a mark out of 4 for each area.  You will have a chance to practise these throughout your practical lessons, but you will have a mock in December of Yr 11

PEP  The final part of the AOP is to plan and perform a 6 week training programme.  This must be planned, typed up, and evaluated during lesson time.  You do 3 sessions a week, for 6 weeks. One session is completed in the lesson, the other 2 are done in your own time, but must be written up and evaluated in lessons as controlled assessment.

Analysis of Performance  This accounts for 12% of your practical mark, so really can make the difference between an A* and an A, or a C and a D

Practical exam  In the old format, you gained half of your practical mark through coursework, and half in your final practical exam  Now, you gain all your marks in your final practical exam.  What we see on the day, is what we mark.  So it is very important to practise the drills and techniques in the lesson, so that you are less likely to make a mistake in the actual exam.

To Recap  Your 1 st assessment will be your PEP at the start of Yr 11  You will have your actual AOP verbal exam around March in Year 11  You will have your final practical exam around Easter in Yr 11  Your Theory exam is usually one of the first you will sit in May. (40% of overall grade)
