GCSE reform: regulations for physical education (short-course)

This consultation is about changes we plan to make to our rules and guidance for new GCSEs in physical education to allow for the new short-course GCSEs. These rules will apply to the new physical education short-course GCSEs that will be taught in schools in England from September 2017.

This consultation takes forward decisions made following our earlier consultation ‘Developing geology, politics and PE short course for 2017 teaching’, and is part of Ofqual’s work supporting the government’s changes to GCSEs, AS and A levels.
