Meeting with Ross Howitt: (Lead moderator for AQA) Changes are from The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) and DfE. Filming students in full context Student performances will be marked, not their ability!!! PE staff will film as much as possible in relation to school fixtures Parents and carers/support (club fixtures) To support footage: Supplementary evidence (fixture details, introduction from students, opposition, standard of fixture) will help put performance in context but will not influence marks Script can be sent

Advice: Team sports Footage of adequate length to justify marks awarded Can be two halves of separate games Film as many fixtures as possible Performer in sight at all times (player cam) Film the outcome of pass, cross, shot and then pan back to student (technique can be subjective) High quality competitive games will bring out the best in performances as they are challenging situations for student If filming core skills: ensure all are recorded and not missed = missed marks Footage has to be continuous, if playing keep camera on!! Can not be edited (Issue with badminton!!!) Location of camera depends upon position of the player!!!!

Advice: Individual sports: Full context Golf Camera to follow player, can not be edited. Camera off in between holes Score card, signed by witness, club pro etc. Does not have to be against another player Skiing Students should perform two timed runs on appropriately challenging slopes against the clock. Indoor snow zone around 10 poles or on an outdoor slope. If outdoor, the colour of the run chosen should be appropriate to the level of ability of the performer. Swimming 2 full competitive swims against opposition Doesn’t matter if they lose as student could achieve their PB.
