Sports Studies Guy

Any schools who would like Cambridge Nationals Sports Studies or Science inset on how to set up and run the course please get in touch. I will send details via email. Dates available in Sep and Oct

DM me with your email if you would like a simplified, PE teacher friendly version of the Cambridge Nationals key dates for the Nov 2021 and Jan 2022 series. The June 2022 key dates haven’t been released yet.

Where students were partway through their Cambridge Nationals course and would have been taking assessments between 1 Aug 2020 - 31 Aug 2021, they can be given unit level teacher assessed grades (TAGs) for the units they would have done. Grades can be sub between 27/09 -08/10

Cambridge Nationals (Sports Studies and Science) teachers follow the link to see the process for entering units as TAGs this autumn from 27th September to 8th October. support.ocr.org.uk/hc/en-gb/artic…

@thePESuperT @OCR_PhysEd Good Morning, They are all on the OCR Sports Studies page. ocr.org.uk/qualifications…

How are people feelikg about the exam now? My impression is @OCR_PhysEd changed too much. Answers that would have been accepted in previous years. But not this year. When students have been disadvantaged too much already... #needanswers

EASTER 25% DISCOUNT: Year 10's will not be sitting exams for sports studies. Therefore, the use of teacher assessment is key. Why not look at my individual tests that you can use for your assessment strategies: tes.com/teaching-resou…

@thePESuperT @OCR_PhysEd This year's 10s will be getting CAGs again.... Just complaining about the January exam mark sheet #OCR

@SSGuy123 @OCR_PhysEd Have they released new exam materials for sports studies? If so do you have the link please.

@AbbiBrowning @OCR_PhysEd Absolutely ridiculous. I just don't get how they can be that specific. Next it will be lack of role models but you will need to quote the age 🤣🤣🤣

@SSGuy123 @OCR_PhysEd Agreed. The first question asks for barriers - to get the mark you had to refer to lack of childcare *in the evening* - since when?

@OCR_PhysEd @ocrexams @ofqual @teachBTEC Whilst its a "pretty difficult answer in 140 character" looking forward to seeing this email. Its taken you a while to type it now....

@SSGuy123 @ocrexams @ofqual @teachBTEC @SSGuy123 @ocrexams @ofqual @teachBTEC pretty difficult answer in 140 characters I'm afraid! Have you an email address I can send a full response to? Can assure you though that fairness was very much at the top of the agenda in January.

@OCR_PhysEd @ocrexams can you explain to me how the grade boundaries haven't changed in line with other vocational boards like @teachBTEC? @ofqual fancy shedding some light and moderating and making sure everything is fair?

@MissDomingoPE1 Dm'd you!

@SSGuy123 I don’t suppose you have any writing frameworks for RO55? 😃 @SSGuy123

Please let me know what resources you need for your OCR Sports delivery. I am here to try and support the OCR Teachers. #OCRSportsGuy

@OCR_PhysEd @SSGuy123 @ocrexams @ofqual @teachBTEC But it actually was not. You have moved the goal posts massively ! How on last years paper would you accept lack of childcare but this year you would not. You have absolutely destroyed students this year.

@OCR_PhysEd @ocrexams @ofqual @teachBTEC Yes ocrsportsstudiesguy@hotmail.com. Look forward to your response.

The arrangements for students in Y10 taking Cambridge Nationals who are not certificating in summer 2021. Take a look here support.ocr.org.uk/hc/en-gb/artic…

@webblr_PE @PE__MrA I'll be challenging everything. Many schools will be getting cags that may be inflated and these grades for me were not in line with other vocational organisations. BTEC massively have changed grade boundaries, @ocrexams haven't done that.

@PE__MrA @SSGuy123 Would you guys be challenging your marks? This is our first cohort but there are some interesting marks!

How did people get on today? I think there seems to be a lack of understanding from OCR in regards to grade boundaries. Anyone in agreement? #sportsstudies

@fleetsaints So extensive isn't it? Any ideas you want to bounce off each other dm me 👍🏻

@SSGuy123 Still trying to get my head around the guidance for year 10&11!

@PE__MrA Totally agree. Don't think they have properly taking things into consideration. Very disappointed that they have been so harsh.

@SSGuy123 In my opinion i think they’ve been unjustifiably harsh. Previous exams they accept answers such as lack of childcare but this year want “lack of childcare after work”. Not really happy about it considering the circumstances the students sat the exam under.
