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.

Created for the Edexcel GCSE PE (New Spec).
Powerpoint includes 3 questions from component 2 - health & performance. (3-6 mark questions).
The focus of the lesson is to help students gain a better understanding of how to interpret questions & know what to include in their answer.
Includes a table of common command words and a brief definition.
Demonstrates how to break down a question before attempting to answer it.
2/3 questions provide model answers which students can assess (WWW/EBI) before answering the question for themselves.
Final question gives students the mark scheme after they have completed it - hopefully hteu will have a better idea of how to gain full marks by this point!
Visual Powerpoint timers included - encouraging students to work on the questions for a realistic amount of time.
GCSE PE - Component 1 Exam practice revision lesson (Edexcel 2016)
Includes:
Silent starter activity - mulitple choice exam questions
Breakdown of three exam questions from past papers, with helpful hints to support more independent answers (PEB).
Worksheets for more / less able students to complete exam questions on.
Green pen activity to peer/self assess answers.
Plenary activity to review keywords / definitions.
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.

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 6 revision worksheets to use as a revision tool to recap all aspects of the GCSE PE curriculum (Edexcell 2016 Spec)
Topics:
Health, fitness & well-being
Sport psychology
Socio-cultural influences
Anatomy & physiology
Movement analysis
Physical training
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.
This lesson was created to support students preparing for their external assessment for Unit 1 - Anatomy & Physiology (BTEC Sport L3).
Lesson includes:
Interactive PowerPoint allowing students to navigate to topic areas they need to revise. (Students click on the information buttons on the slides to take them to a summary slide for each body system. (I used this with students having access to individual iPads / laptops).
Interrelationships between body systems activity to support with long answer questions.
Plenary activity - Splat using key words from the unit.
Handout also included - print one per student for them to complete during the lesson.
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.
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.
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
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.

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.
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).
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.
