Assessments
Component 1 and 2 are assessed through non-exam internal assessment. These components have been designed so students can demonstrate and apply conceptual knowledge through coursework written tasks using a computer. In both components students will also have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills through the planning and leading of a warm up and an activity session to a small group of younger students in the school.
Students will be assessed by the teacher and then moderated by Pearson.
Component 3 is externally assessed through a 1 hour 30 minute paper exam worth 60 marks. This exam is sat at the end of Year 11 during the summer exam window.
What Skills Will I Develop?
The three components in the qualification gives learners the opportunity to develop broad knowledge and understanding of the sport sector, and specialist skills such as analysis, leadership, confidence and teaching and communication at Levels 1 and 2. Students will also develop their IT skills through coursework.
- Pupils will develop key workplace skills throughout the 3 components. They will be asked to lead a warm up and a session in a sport of their choice. This will give them the opportunity to work on key life skills such as leadership, confidence and teaching and communication.
- They will develop on the 3 assessment strands that we use in PE. Mental, Physical and Social.
Exam Hints
