9am – 3pm = 6 hours

Today was external moderation for the A Level PE groups. This involved us as a college to travel down to another college and carry out their chosen sport all day. The sports that were carried out were; football, basketball, table tennis, badminton and netball. The assessors walked around and marked every student in their specialised sport. This grade achieved went towards their practical final grade for their A Level.

My role was to warm up our students so I ensured that it began with a pulse raiser (light jogging, jumping jacks & shuttle runs), then mobility exercises (leg swings, open / close gate & world’s greatest), activation (plank & glute raises) and basic skills / drills for their sport (passing, dribbling & passing). Once that was done, I just was by the side of the hall observing the students and ensuring that there was no behavioural issues. This moderation took the whole college day because of the long distance we needed to travel. Overall, I enjoyed today as it was a different and new experience compared to being in the classroom completing the same duties.
