7. 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

9. 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!!!!

10. 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.

Students should be performing in a challenging and competitive situation

15. Awarding Grades OUTCOMES
Moderator will observe live performances and DVD footage and will award marks.
Grades awarded are subjective: There are always going to be differences from the school assessment and moderators assessment
A small tolerance is allowed on the internal assessment between NHS and moderator
If the difference in grades are outside the tolerance a proportional adjustment is made to all students practical grades!!!
