# GCSE Physical Education - Summer Exam

**GCSE Physical Education**

GCSE Physical Education provides students with the knowledge, understanding and skills to develop their own performance in a range of sports as well as understanding the impacts and benefits of participation in sport on both individuals and society. GCSE Physical Education is excellent preparation for A Level Physical Education and would also benefit students looking at BTEC courses in Sports and Physical Education

Our approved GCSE Physical Education exam centre welcomes private candidates for exams with OCR. We provide a safe, well-organised environment designed to support you through every step, ensuring your exam experience is smooth and stress free helping you to gain a recognised qualification in GCSE Physical Education proficiency under official exam conditions.

**FAQ GCSE Physical Education:**

**Can I carry forward my coursework if I am resitting?**  
_Yes, pick the appropriate option. You will need to provide the UCI number you used when you originally took the exams and provide evidence that the coursework has been completed._

**I am completing my coursework with a tutor or distance learning provider, is this acceptable?**  
_We are unable to accept coursework completed with a tutor for GCSE Physical Education._ 

**If I select the ‘Coursework Required’ option what does this provide?**  
_You will need to provide video evidence of your participation in the three sports that you have chosen (one team, one individual and one other). Along with the videos you should also complete a log of competitive participation in your chosen sports. These will be reviewed and assessed by our GCSE Physical Education specialist. In all videos the candidate being assessed must be able to be clearly identified. Details of how to supply the evidence will be sent to you by email._

_For the ‘Analysing and Evaluating Performance’ component of the coursework you will be required to attend the centre in Birmingham for two days in April to complete the task under controlled conditions. The dates for this will be emailed to you in March._

  
_We strongly recommend that you familiarise yourself with the [OCR Guide to NEA document](https://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/234827-gcse-guide-to-non-exam-assessment.pdf "Guide to Non-exam Assessment (NEA)") as this provides the criteria for the coursework in GCSE Physical Education including the skills needing to be demonstrated in the Physical Performance and the format of the written part of the coursework._

**Can I choose the sports I use for my Physical Performance section of the coursework?**  
_You can select any sports as long as they are listed in the exam board specification and conform to their criteria. You must select at least one individual and one team sport. A sport that can be played both individually and as a team can only be used once, for example playing single tennis is an individual sport while doubles is a team sport, but you could not include both of these. You also cannot include sports which are very similar, for example Rugby League and Rugby Union are not counted as separate sports._
