Progress and assessment booklet for Physical education

A booklet used to track the progress of KS3 pupils in Physical education.
KAL grading system (Knowledge, Awareness and LEadership) with detailed criteria set on the 1-9 scale. Knowledge encompasses some of the GCSE theoretical content that is taught along side the KS3 curriculum. Awareness focuses on effort, tactical awareness and community in PE lessons. Leadership looks to develop pupils confidence and ability to lead small groups and take ownership of their lessons.
The grading criteria for practical sports has been ommited as we use the AQA GCSE PE skill critera for each sport and this is accessible elsewhere. However, any criteria can be added for the practical element and placed within the booklet.
There is opportunity for pupils to self assess and reflect on their current grades as well as setting targets for themselves. This is currently the method of assessment in my school and it is working very well. pupils enjoy knowing their grade, like being compared to GCSE students and it has delivered a real focus for staff teaching the subject.

booklet allows progress to be tracked from year 7 to year 9 with 3 assessment points throughout each year. At each assessment point pupils can set targets to achieve for the next assessment point, one target for each part of KAL.

Booklet also has designated area to record athletics scores over 3 years which has really helped us in selecting pupils for events and entering for certification.

The back page allows staff to see, at glance, grading at each assessment point and sports grades achieved without having to sift through each page of every book.

We currently have one of these books for each KS3 pupil. They will keep this with them throughout their time with us and it will be used as reference at each assessment point, parents evening and report home.
