Main Topics
Four
practical options must be chosen from the
following activity areas: games, gymnastics,
dance,
athletics, swimming and outdoor adventurous
activities and fitness/health activities.
Students must be assessed as an active
participant: The four assessments will be
from at least two groups/ways of
thinking, and at least two performances must
be as a performer/player.
These assessments will be internally
assessed with a moderation from an external
assessor.
The written examination consists of 4
sections:
-
Health and fitness.
-
Principles of training.
-
Factors affecting individual performance
and participation.
-
Social and cultural factors affecting
participation.
Assessment
60% internally assessed practical.
40% terminal examination.
Students who study this course need to
be highly committed to improving their

performance and improve techniques and
skills at GCSE level through the use of
the extra curricular activities
programme. They must also be aware of
the demands of the examination work.
