Currently working in a school teaching Edexcel GCSE PE (New Spec) and BTEC Sport (Level 3).
Resources will primarily be things I produce for my Y11 GCSE group as we work through the new syllabus. Along with resources made at my previous schools / during my PGCE year.
Teaching since 2014. Previous background was in sports coaching and performance analysis at football academies.

Teaching since 2014. Previous background was in sports coaching and performance analysis at football academies.
I have created an 8 lesson scheme of work which I will be using after Easter with all of my core PE groups from Y7-9. They are designed to be easily adaptable to allow for changes to be made to suit groups of different abilities / needs. Each practice allows for scaffolding for less able students and progressions for more able students.
Each lesson includes a warm up / starter activity, learning outcomes, a skill development practice with progressions and a game at the end.
The groups I will be working with will generally be fairly low ability for cricket, which means the main focus of this S.O.W is developing batting and fielding skills. I will develop bowling by using underarm / throw downs / drop feeds if necessary. I will also be using these games and skill development practices with my KS4 groups.
Most of the activities in this SOW can be taught in an indoor environment - which is useful due to the weather we are likely to get! We have indoor nets which will allow me to adpat lessons to having some students working on batting / bowling in the nets, and others working on catching skills / fielding on the other side.
I have also included some resource cards for batting, bowling and fielding. I don’t often use them in lessons, although some may find them useful.
10 lesson scheme of work suitable for KS3. Each lesson includes a starter / intro activity, learning outcomes, skill development practices, games & plenaries.

Lessons:

KS3 fitness 10 lesson scheme of work.
Incudes:
Fitness testing lessons
Circuit, interval, kettlebell training
Calories lesson
Boxercise lesson
Team challenge
Lessons include resource cards to support lesson, learning outcomes, questioning ideas, differentiated activities. Alternative ideas given depending on equipment / space available.
All the lessons are ones I use when teaching fitness at KS3. The space I would use to teach these lessons would be in a ‘old school’ style gym, with rowing machines, battle ropes, dumbells, kettlebells, skipping ropes, hurdles, step up boxes, medicine balls. Some lessons have alternative suggestions if you do not have access to all equipment.
I have found these lessons really useful to incorporate lots of GCSE content in them which helps give students prior knowledge of some topics they will cover in later years.
Unit of work for KS3 athletics.
Lessons included:
- Throwing events (discus, shot, javelin)
- Sprinting
- Long jump
- High jump
- Relay
All lessons include differentiated activities for more / less able, learning outcomes, teaching points and some have images which can be printed & laminated to use as flash cards.
I have found these really useful to use with a range of high & low ability groups.

Includes:
Lesson power point and learning outcomes.
Starter activity which recaps previous lesson on health related components of fitness.
Introduction activity to skill related C.O.F - give each group one of the starter activity sheets - they need to identify the C.O.F being shown. (Speed is being shown in the cover image!) Discuss as a group to name all 6.
Give each student one handout of the ‘definition power point’ slides. They need to decide which C.O.F this relates to. (I did this as an exercise where they move around the room and put all the ‘speed’ ones on one table, for example!)
Clarify the definitions & sporting examples using the remaining slides on the power point, getting students to complete their worksheet (differentiated).
Apply learning by answering one of the exam questions on each C.O.F. (I did this in groups & then got students to write up individual answers after they had discussed how they would answer it).
Enjoy

Revision worksheets for topic 1 (health, fitness and well-being), topic 2 (sport psychology) and topic 3 (socio-cultural influences).
Also includes a revision question calendar with daily questions from each topic, ranging from 2-9 mark questions.
At this point i do not have any resources for component 1 as i am yet to teach this. I will be producing similar resources next year!
Includes:
Lesson plan and learning outcomes. Starter activity to recap previous lessons on health and skill related components of fitness.
Differentiated question sheets on each skill related component of fitness - give each student one question sheet for them to answer. (All questions on a particular component of fitness are the same, the low ability sheets have sentence starters, the middle sheets have hint questions and the high ability sheets have bonus marks!).
Peer assess - with given hints on the power point of what to look for.
Model answers provided for each question, students can then compare to their own answers and make additional changes to perfect their answer.
I found this really useful as lots of my students have a good understanding of the content, but struggle to apply it to (sometimes fairly easy!) exam questions.
18 slides with professional athletes and a component of fitness which the hot seated student needs to guess. (Obviously sit the hot seated student with their back to the board!!)
Great starter / plenary / revision activity which the students really enjoyed. Some struggled with knowing who some of the athletes were, so some discretion may be required to accept answers naming the sport which the athlete is doing, along with the component of fitness given!

Contains loop cards for all 6 topics across the Edexcel GCSE PE (2016 Spec). Each set are a different color. Includes questions and answers to help with revision lessons.

Topic 1,2 and 3 revision worksheets
Revision question calendar - one question a day for 4 weeks to encourage them to start revising early!
Component 2 worksheets and calendar also available!
Includes:
Revision questions on components of fitness (Differentiated). I did this by giving pairs one of the 3 cards (high ability / middle / low ability) and getting them to choose a question to answer. They needed to create a mark scheme of what they thought should go into a good answer for their question. The questions can then be answered by another pair who give their answer back, and have it marked by the students.
Components of fitness loop card game - Print and cut the cards from the power point and hand out to the students. The first one stands up and reads out the question on their card, and the person who has the answer stands up and carries it on. (The cards are printed in the correct order so will need shuffling before handing out!!)
The students really enjoyed the loop card game! Creating mark schemes can be difficult, but once they get the hang of it their exam answers will massively improve!
Includes:
Powerpoint with learning objectives
Starter activity cards - Print copies of the slides and get students to rearrange the letters to identify each component of fitness. Extension task with definitions and examples of each C.O.F.
Differentiated worksheet for students to gather the information once the starter activity and extension has been completed, with supporting slides to check answers.
Final slides include exam questions to apply the information gained in the lesson, with mark scheme to peer/self assess.
