Local Study - Football
GCE Physical Education – Exemplar Materials
Unit 2: The Critical Sports Performer (6PE02)
Task 2.2 – Local Study (Football)
Commentary
Mark band three (7-9):
“The student has demonstrated a good level of knowledge of the local provision in their chosen physical activity.”
General comments
This work suggests that limited research has been undertaken and only covers some of the key areas required, such as club and school provision.
Although the detail for the opportunities in local leagues, clubs and schools is reasonable, the referencing is limited and the bibliography thin. For example, there is a figure suggested for the fees paid in the Tandridge League but no reference as to where this information may be verified.
Word limit
The word limit is adhered to although it is perfectly reasonable for candidates to include case studies and tables to illustrate or develop points providing they are properly contextualised, add relevant depth to the work and are not simply additional words conveniently ‘boxed’.

Content
The opening sections outline aspects of the local provision. There are references to schools, clubs and local leagues but much of this knowledge appears to be generated from the personal knowledge of the candidate. The overview of the provision in the area is missing; for example, there are no details about the number of affiliated clubs or players, or the name of the local governing body and the role it has in further developing football provision in the area.
