Physical Education GCSE
New Specification
Along with other non-core subjects GCSE Physical Education has been revised for first teaching in September 2009 and first awarding in July 2011. The specification and the accompanying specimen assessment materials have been fully accredited by QCA and DCELLS.
The WJEC GCSE in Physical Education course is popular with centres in both Wales and England.
The scheme is assessed through practical (controlled assement) work which accounts for 60% of the assessment and the written exanination paper.
Coursework marksheets (2011) are available for download.

The controlled assessement tasks and criteria are printed on pages 19 to 36.
