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.
I created a mock assessment to use after teaching the Socio-cultural influences in sport unit from the new Edexcel GCSE Spec. (Component 2, topic 3). Exam questions found from previous Edexcel assessments with the same / similar content.
Assessment - Follows the structure to that of a real assessment, multiple choice questions, variety of short answer questions and a 9 mark question to finish. Mark scheme included. Asessment /35.
Powerpoint - Goes through each question and reveals answers. Good to use as a feedback lesson.

I created these slides to use in practical PE lessons with my GCSE group & displayed them in the sports hall where we do table tennis 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.

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.
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 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.
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.
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, but easily transferable content to other exam boards.
Includes:
Powerpoint with learning outcomes.
Presents new information on muscles / types of muscles / muscles & movement / antagonistic pairs.
Task - Matching task to identify all muscles (similar to bones activity on skeletal system lesson).
Can be set out like an information relay - detailed muscles information sheet which can be put at the front / outside the room.
Differentiated worksheet to complete.
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!
Activity to identify the bones in the skeletal system. Supported by a powerpoint.
Main task - flash cards and printout of a skeleton to locate all of the main bones needed for GCSE.
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.
Includes:
Power point and learning outcomes. Starter activity similar to scrabble, to create a word relating to the topic using the letter tiles on the screen (good bit of numeracy!)
Graffiti wall - students to write what they know about each question on fitness testing - can refer back at the end, really effective to demonstrate progress.
Main activity is an information relay. Provide each group with a large, blank handout to complete. One student at a time goes to look at the completed handout at the front / outside the classroom to bring information back to their group.
Final slide gives a plenary activity for students to answer some questions on fitness testing.
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!
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!
