KS3 Programme of Study

Grading

Grading in Physical Education follows the 9-1 system used across the school. Pupils are graded at the end of each half term in the practical activities as outlined in the KS3 programme of study. The final grade (end of year attainment grade) will be calculated based upon the pupil’s highest individual sport, team sport and an additional sport from either category. This is the practical activity assessment structure for OCR GCSE PE which has been adapted for use at Key Stage 3. For this reason, the present predicted grade (PPG) reported at different stages throughout the year, may not give an accurate reflection of the pupil’s overall progress in the subject. The PPG would only reflect the practical activities taught and assessed by that stage of the year. For example, by the end of the Autumn term, the PPG for a boy in Year 7 would be calculated based upon assessments in basketball and table tennis. By the end of the Spring term, his PPG would also include assessments in badminton and volleyball, and by the end of the Summer term it would also include assessments in cricket and tennis. In addition, an ongoing football assessment will be completed to produce the final grade.
