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.

Full scheme of work for ‘Applying principles of training’ (R042) unit. From Cambridge National Level 2 Sport Science.
Scheme of work includes:
121 slide PowerPoint covering all 4 learning outcomes.
All lessons centered around a big ‘learning question’ which they work on throughout the unit. (How can training programmes be designed to develop sporting performance?)
Each learning outcome contains lessons to develop content & understanding of the topic, with application to tasks / scenarios to prepare them for the assessed work at the end.
At the end of each learning outcome is an ‘assessment preparation’ task which provides information on the assessed piece of work, mark scheme and what needs to be included.
LO3 includes interactive PPT slides where students can navigate themselves to the fitness test information they want to find out - by clicking on hyperlinked buttons within the PPT (view on slide show to access).
Also included:
Fitness testing record sheets
Fitness testing protocols & normative data
PAR-Q
6 week training programme template
This scheme of work has been developed alongside a series of practical based fitness lessons to secure understanding of the theory covered in the SOW. I have provided students access to this PowerPoint using MS Teams so they have the information they need to write their assignments.
Edexcel GCSE PE (New spec) Revision sheet - Component 1 - Topic 3 - Physical training
Ideal to use as a revision resource / homework task to recap lessons on physical training.
Other revision sheets available for all other topics
Edexcel GCSE PE (New Spec) - Loop cards - Component 1 Topic 1
Created as a useful revision tool / starter activity to use with my GCSE PE group sitting the new spec (2016) Edexcel course.
Includes 40 cards with a question and answer. Question on the right of the card matches the answer on the left hand side of another card. A great resource for engaging the whole group in revision!
Additional slides can be generated to add more cards/ questions. I have also created loop cards for all other topics from the new spec.
Edexcel GCSE PE (New Spec) - Loop cards - Component 1 Topic 2
Includes 35 cards with question and answer. Question on the right of the card with the matching answer on the left of another card. A great resource for engaging the whole group in revision!
Additional slides can be generated to add more cards / questions. I have also created loop cards for all other topics from the new spec!
I created these slides to use in practical PE lessons with my GCSE group & displayed them in the sports hall where we do handball lessons. I found the criteria for practical sports assessment very wordy and difficult for the students to comprehend what level they are working at, or how to progress to the next level.
It has been really useful to assist with peer assessment in lessons, as students can easily understand what is expected of a performer working at a specific level.
The terminology used was based on the criteria for Edexcel (2016). Other exam boards are very similar, although the grading may differ.

Power point / lesson on exercise, fitness and health.
Includes learning outcomes, starter activity, and main content slides.
Final activity is exam questions based on the topic and mark scheme to self/peer assess.
Developed for Edexcel, but easily transferable to other exam boards.
Includes:
Power point with learning outcomes.
Starter activity - Matching task with flash cards recapping all muscles & bones. (I HAVE ALSO USED THIS AS AN EXCELLENT REVISION RESOURCE!)
Differentiated A3 worksheet to complete to gather information on effects of exercise on muscular system, with supporting slides on power point, and a support sheet for LA students.
Created for Edexcel (New Spec) Component 2 - Topic 2 - Sport psychology
Includes 25 cards with question and answer. Question on the right of the card, with the answer on the left of a different card. Great resource for engaging the whole group during a revision activity.
Additional slides can be created to generate more cards. I have also created loop cards for topic 1 and 3 from component 2.
Created for Edexcel GSCE (New spec) Component 2 - Topic 3 - Socio-cultural influences
Includes 25 cards with question and answer. Question on the right of the card with the matching answer on the left hand side of another card. A great resource for engaging the whole group in revision!
Additional slides can be added to generate more cards / questions. I have also created loop cards for topic 1 and 2 from component 2.
These lessons were created to be embedded into the KS3 curriculum and give students a taste of what studying PE at KS4 entails. The aim of these lessons is to give students a basic understanding of key topics studied in GCSE PE and engage students in a different way of learning in KS3 PE lessons which would normally be completely practically based.
Students will complete one theory lesson during each block of practical lessons throughout the year (one theory lesson every 6-7 weeks). Throughout KS3 students should develop a basic understanding of all topics before starting GCSE PE in year 10.
The lessons were tailored to the Edexcel GCSE PE (2016) specification and each year group focuses on a different topic within their lessons.
*Would be suitable for other GCSE PE qualifications with similar content.
*Also useful as a wet weather / cover lesson to keep students engaged in a classroom.
Included:
7 lessons based around one ‘Big Question’ on Physical training and Anatomy & physiology.
A graphic organiser / booklet which can be printed out and given to students to work in each lesson (in place of working in an exercise book).
A PowerPoint with all 7 lessons – Each lesson including…
o Title slide
o Engage/starter tasks
o Shared learning outcomes – using big & small question
o Share new information – Students fill in the blanks in their booklets to gather new information shared in the lesson.
o Mini plenaries to check understanding throughout the lesson.
o Tasks – Application activities where students demonstrate their learning.
o Final task is to complete the ‘small question’ for the lesson which involves an extended answer. Hints included to support students with what to include and a ‘WAGOLL’ of what a good one looks like!
o Plenary task to wrap up the lesson.
Links to GCSE curriculum: Each lesson includes GCSE content which has been simplified / scaffolded to be suitable for younger students. Extended answers to the small question at the end of the lesson use the same ‘PEB’ structure that is encouraged at GCSE level (Point, Explain, Benefit).
*Some videos which were initially embedded into the PPT have been removed to reduce file size. Links for the videos have been posted into the slides.

Key words flash cards created to support my GCSE PE group with their revision (Edexcel 2016 spec)
Includes 152 key words with definitions! Created on powerpoint - one slide containing 6 key words, the following slides with the 6 definitions.
This can either be used as flash cards with key words on one side, with the definition on the other. (Print double sided) OR print on individual sheets and use as a matching exercise to pair up each key word with its definition.
*If printing double sided - check printer settings to ensure the correct definition and keyword are paired up.
Key words & definitions taken from the Pearson Edexcel GCSE 9-1 Physical Education 2nd Ed textbook (2016).
Created for Edexcel GCSE PE (2016 Spec) to support students with 4-6 mark questions in assessment.
Supports students with a framework to write extended answers with greater success in gaining marks - this can link to 9 mark questions, i used this lesson to embed the skills of how to answer shorter questions first.
Questions focused around skeletal system / cardiovascular system (Component 1)
Created to support students with long answer (9 mark) questions in assessments. Question based on muscle fibers for a 5000m runner!
I used a similar lesson to help them write developed statements on shorter responses which they found really useful (lesson resources available - writing developed statements). This lesson focuses on building those same writing skills to 9 mark questions to help them write extended answers with more success.
Lots of my students either wrote lots of simple statements, which restricts them to only 3 marks. Or they wrote the explanation / analysis without the statements / definitions first. This lesson worked really well to support them in writing more concise, and successful answers.
Format of the lesson is to give them the 9 mark question first, I then did some general revision / Q&A / discussion on different topics as a break between answers, and then got them to re-write their answers after discussing how to answer it with more success. Finishing off with a peer assessment task to compare answers.
I then asked them to look back through other 9 mark questions we have done, choose one and have a go using the same structure!
Created for Edexcel GCSE (New spec) - Component 2: Topic 1 - Health, fitness and well-being.
Includes 25 cards and answers. Question on the right, the answer is on the left of a different card. Excellent way of engaging all students in a revision activity.
Additional slides can be added in to create more questions. I have also produced a set for topic 2 and 3 from component 1.
