Practical Performance

The purpose of this component is to test students’ skills in a range of practical performances.

Students will be required to perform in three different physical activities in the role of player/performer.

They will be required to demonstrate their skills in isolation/unopposed situations and demonstrate their skills in a formal/competitive situation while under pressure.

Assessment of this component is through an non-examination assessment up to a combined duration of 12 hours; this is marked by the teacher and moderated by Edexcel and makes up 30% of the overall grade awarded.

Personal Exercise Programme (PEP)

The purpose of this component is to assess students’ skills in analysing and evaluating
performance through a personal exercise programme (PEP) in order to improve/optimise
performance in a chosen physical activity.

Students will develop knowledge and understanding of the principles of training, relevant
methods of training and use of data in order to analyse and evaluate their PEP.

The PEP will cover a six- to eight-week period, and can relate to any physical activity of their choice.

Assessment of this component is through an non-examination assessment up to a combined duration of 12 hours; this is marked by the teacher and moderated by Edexcel and makes up 10% of the overall grade awarded.
