GCSE and A Level PE coursework

Askel keeps each student’s activity profile, off-site evidence and filming, and plans moderation day. NEA (non-exam assessment) is coursework marked in school, then checked by the exam board.

Key deadline
Early March 2027

Off-site activities must be filmed. No footage means zero marks for that activity.

Where the admin piles up

PE has the earliest deadlines.

01

Early deadlines

OCR marks are due on 15 March, and Eduqas’s in early March.

02

Filming off-site

Activities away from school must be filmed, with consent.

03

Moderation day

Students, kit and a running order, all on one day.

What Askel records

Built around each board’s rules.

Every feature sits under one of the five steps.

Prepare

Activity profiles, checked against the DfE list

Each student’s activities, checked against the approved list.

Show

An evidence card for off-site activities

Where, when and who filmed it.

Show

A recording checklist, with filming consent

So no activity is missed, and every film has consent.

Prove

A moderation day planner

The running order, bibs and who needs to be where.

Films stay where your school keeps them. Askel keeps links, dates, consent and a fingerprint of each file.

AI rules for PE

What each board adds.

AI tools, like ChatGPT, can write or change text for you. JCQ’s rules apply to every board: students say which AI tools they used, and keep their prompts and what the tool gave them. Each board adds its own notes.

AQAJCQ’s rules apply. Each milestone in Askel shows a one-line note from the board’s own guidance.AQA guidance
OCRJCQ’s rules apply. Each milestone in Askel shows a one-line note from the board’s own guidance.OCR guidance
PearsonJCQ’s rules apply. Each milestone in Askel shows a one-line note from the board’s own guidance.Pearson guidance
WJEC/EduqasJCQ’s rules apply. Each milestone in Askel shows a one-line note from the board’s own guidance.WJEC/Eduqas guidance

Askel has no AI in it, and never sends students’ work to AI companies.
