PE teachers and Heads of Departments tell us that they like our current specification, therefore we will keep our new specification as similar as possible to the current specification with both a short and a full course.
This units for this qualification will be:
- Unit 1: The Theory of Physical Education - external assessment
- Unit 2: Performance in Physical Education - controlled assessment

What is controlled assessment?
For the 2009 specification internal assessment will need to be carried out under controlled conditions. This change may alter the way that you deliver this part of the specification. We will, of course, provide you with assistance and guidance on how to manage controlled conditions within PE.
You can see the QCA controlled assessment regulations for physical education here.
