Reasonable Adjustment

In order to make the qualification as inclusive as possible there is an option for learners who cannot participate in the full scale NGB approved competitive element of the sport. For those who are disabled, partially sighted or have another special educational need recognised and recorded by the school the course can be adjusted. In this instance we would ask that this is indicated on the registration form next to the learners name. Learners are to be assessed in 2 sports only, as well as the knowledge and attitude to learning scores.

RA course breakdown

The sports assessed should be as close to the NGB full scale competitive game as is possible for the setting. However, any appropriate reasoanble adjustment is acceptable as long as the professional carrying out the moderation can give an accurate mark, reflective of the score evidenced in the assessment. Moderation of 3 learners is still required in accompaniment of the final mark book grades. These learners are eligible to be awarded either bronze, silver, gold or platinum with adjustment, this will be signified by the initials RA (reasonable adjustment) at certification. The final UMS scale will be adjusted to more appropriate boundaries for these learners to access a final grade, see the final UMS RA table below.

The aim of PE Award is to make this qualification accessible to all. We are committed to ensuring that learners with protected characteristics as defined by the Equality Act 2010 are not disadvantaged in comparison to leaners who do not share that characteristic. All learners should be treated with fairness and have an equal opportunity to access this qualification. It is acceptable for professionals to make appropriate reasonable adjustments to provide both equality and equity and allow equal access for learners with recognised SEND protected needs that have been recorded by the school. All learners deserve the right to undertake this qualification and the reasonable adjustments will allow all learners to be compared fairly to the achievements of their peers.
