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.
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.
Based on Edexcel, but content is easily transferable to other exam boards.
Includes:
Powerpoint and learning outcomes.
Starter activity to recap bones from previous lesson (skeletal system).
Presents new information on joints and types of movement to give an understanding before main task.
Main task to work around the room completing a worksheet on the 8 sports people, identifying joint, joint action and articulating bones.
Differentiated worksheet
Final task students apply their knowledge to exam questions & self/peer assess with given mark scheme.
*I did this lesson in the sportshall, with the powerpoint projected onto the wall, with the pictures printed and stuck around the hall. This gave space for the students to work & you could see them performing the actions on the pictures to try and figure out the joint / bones which are involved in the movement! The students really enjoyed the lesson & were really engaged throughout!
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.
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:
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!
GCSE PE - Component 2 Exam practice revision lesson (Edexcel 2016)
Includes:
Silent starter activity - mulitple choice exam questions

Health, fitness & well-being
Sport psychology
Socio-cultural influences

Physical training
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

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.
