As has been said, this is not new news. I have moderated a GCSE sailing exercise, and helped with filming for others. The problem is, there is no correlation between the standards of the various exam boards, and most PE teachers are unable to contribute towards rectifying this. The RYA are trying to help with the situation, but it needs the exam boards to co operate with each other, and, ideally, the appointment of suitably qualified regional people who could act as moderators.
Take solace in the fact his squad sailing will look good on his UCAS statement.

IC Championships and International Events use the INTERNATIONAL CANOE FEDERATION CANOE SAILING COMPETITION RULES, which in turn specify the International Racing Rules of Sailing "where appropriate". There are not insignificant differences in detail on the administrative /organisational side and I don't know how that would be worked out if there came to be a need. |

Yes, but I imagine that there would be more to it than that. I doubt the canoeing includes every aspect of the sport administered by BCU - Canoe Polo and white water rafting for example... |

I havent checked this years policy on GCSE but sailing was in last year, the boy did it.
The school would have known if they had checked but the last A level student to do sailing was a couple of years ago so why would they? Here's a thought: Being as the IC is administered by the BCU is that not canoeing? |

The governing body is engaged. Amanda Van Santen was asking people to sign a petition in January 2015. This isn't new news. I can't believe schools are surprised by this. If someone can explain (very simply) how to make that link work I'll fix it. Edited by GarethT - 08 Sep 16 at 3:37pm |

For me this is a missed opportunity, this is where governing bodies should be engaged. For example, if a student was doing football, this part of the assessment should be carried out by an FA Qualified Coach, the the A-Level could be FA Endorsed. Alternatively assess a student with a RYA Coach and so on and so on. PE Teachers are usually quite good at a few sports, the usual mainstream ones, however are not masters at every craft. There probably isn't that many Teachers who hold Skiing Teacher Quals. Or is this what currently happens?

My understanding is the student has to break down techniques & coaching, but it does have to be at a suitable level.
Please correct if wrong. |
