3. Introduction
Background
A new structure of assessment for A Level has been introduced, for first teaching from September
2008. Some of the changes include:
• The introduction of stretch and challenge (including the new A* grade at A2) – to ensure that
every young person has the opportunity to reach their full potential
• The reduction or removal of coursework components for many qualifications – to lessen the
volume of marking for teachers
• A reduction in the number of units for many qualifications – to lessen the amount of
assessment for learners
• Amendments to the content of specifications – to ensure that content is up-to-date and
relevant.
OCR has produced an overview document, which summarises the changes to Physical Education.
This can be found at www.ocr.org.uk, along with the new specification.
In order to help you plan effectively for the implementation of the new specification we have
produced this Scheme of Work and Sample Lesson Plans for Physical Education These Support
Materials are designed for guidance only and play a secondary role to the Specification.
Our Ethos
All our Support Materials were produced ‘by teachers for teachers’ in order to capture real life
current teaching practices and they are based around OCR’s revised specifications. The aim is for
the support materials to inspire teachers and facilitate different ideas and teaching practices.
Each Scheme of Work and set of sample Lesson Plans is provided in:
• PDF format – for immediate use
• Word format – so that you can use it as a foundation to build upon and amend the content to
suit your teaching style and students’ needs.
The Scheme of Work and sample Lesson plans provide examples of how to teach this unit and the
teaching hours are suggestions only. Some or all of it may be applicable to your teaching.
The Specification is the document on which assessment is based and specifies what content and
skills need to be covered in delivering the course. At all times, therefore, this Support Material
booklet should be read in conjunction with the Specification. If clarification on a particular point is
sought then that clarification should be found in the Specification itself.
