GCSE Physical Education Specification Specification for first teaching in 2016
PDF | 1.6 MB
We have worked closely with teachers and the Youth Sport Trust to develop a new GCSE Physical Education specification that will inspire teaching and learning. New and contemporary topics will help students of all abilities to develop a well-rounded skill set and prepare them for progression to further studies.
The activity list and practical weighting for GCSE Physical Education will be the same across all exam boards. However, we’ve worked hard to ensure that our new specification is engaging and our assessment clear.
We’ve also enhanced our free resource package to include specification launch and preparing to teach events, lesson plans, practical exemplars and more, to support engaging theoretical and practical performance lessons. We’ll continue to speak regularly to teachers to ensure we give you the right support.
We’re confident our GCSE Physical Education specification will inspire and challenge your students to do their best.
