The OCR GCSE Physical Education course sets out to ensure that through their involvement in their four chosen practical activities and the theoretical programme of study, candidates acquire confidence, self esteem, respect for themselves and others, along with an understanding of the rules and conventions of their chosen activities.

The programme of study at this level provides candidates with the opportunity to become informed and competent performers with an awareness of both the benefits of participation and the risks.
This course provides opportunities for candidates to improve their overall knowledge and performance in a range of practical activities and to appreciate the necessity for sound understanding of the principles, practices and training which underpin improved performance, better health and well-being.

The course is structured to cover the following topic areas and skills:
Topics covered in the course:

  • Effective Performance in four chosen practical activities;
  • Observation and Analysis of performance in one practical activity;
  • Factors affecting participation and performance in physical activity;
  • Relationship between health, fitness and practical activity;
  • Risk assessment in physical activity.

Candidates will learn to:

  • develop and apply advanced skills and techniques;
  • select and apply advanced skills, tactics, strategies and team skills;
  • evaluate and improve performance;
  • adopt a variety of roles in an activity such as performer, coach, referee;
  • understand rules of activity and safety regulations.

The course is assessed by one examination paper lasting 1 hour and 45 minutes (worth 40%) and coursework consisting of four practical activities (worth 60%).
The course provides a sound foundation for those candidates who may wish to enter certain vocational positions where knowledge of Physical Education may be seen as an advantage. Positions exist within the sport and leisure industry for such personnel. Alternatively, candidates may wish to continue with their studies in Physical Education by taking GCE AS/A Level in Physical Education or an Advanced Vocational Certificate of Education (Advanced GNVQ) in Leisure and Recreation. Such candidates may wish eventually to enter one of the many areas of the sport and leisure industry, the teaching or coaching professions.
