GCSE PE Moderation Made Easy

ABOUT THIS COURSE

This practical and engaging course is designed for GCSE PE teachers and leaders who want to strengthen the accuracy, fairness, and consistency of student assessment and moderation. Through expert guidance, reflection, and hands-on examples, delegates will explore strategies for improving internal moderation, ensuring that assessment procedures and standards are transparent and fully aligned with exam board expectations. The course provides timely, actionable advice on building robust student portfolios that demonstrate progress, evidence performance standards, and streamline the moderation process. Attendees will focus on implementing checkpoints across the two-year course, managing video evidence effectively, and developing user-friendly systems for tracking progress, forecasting grades, and preparing materials for moderation. By the end of the course, delegates will leave with a clear framework for moderation success, equipped with practical tools, confidence, and a set of strategies to ensure consistency and excellence in GCSE PE assessment.
