GCSE PE Scheme of Work — Year 10, board-neutral
Eighty-six pages and a hundred and eight lessons, one row each. Board-neutral by construction: built on the DfE subject content and the Ofqual assessment objectives, which every specification shares, rather than on any one board's papers. Forty-eight examination questions come with what the mark scheme rewards, and six printable knowledge organisers sit inside the units.
- 1aApplied Anatomy and Physiology: The Body Under Load
- 1bMovement Analysis and the Learning of Skill
- 2aFitness, Testing and the Use of Data
- 2bTraining Programmes: Design, Delivery and Evaluation
- 3aSport Psychology and Socio-cultural Influences
- 3bAnalysing Performance, and Preparing for Year 11
Not a topic list with timings against it. Ten sections per unit, in the same order every time, and the lesson sequence is one row per lesson rather than one per week — because a department buying a scheme of work for a qualification is buying the teaching, not a summary of it.
No theory is taught away from the activity it explains. The subject content requires specifications to enable students to make the connections between theory and practice, and the reliable way to lose that is to timetable theory into a classroom and practical into a hall and let them drift apart. Every unit here names a practical vehicle, and in most units the data the theory works on is data the students generated in the previous lesson.
The scheme builds both coursework tasks. The ten per cent non-exam task is an analysis of a performance on some specifications and a personal exercise programme on another — genuinely different pieces of work. Unit 2b produces the programme and unit 3b produces the analysis, so a department finishes Year 10 with whichever its board requires already drafted, and the other one completed as preparation. A department that changes board does not lose a year.
Each unit carries the misconceptions that actually appear and what to do about each, hinge questions with what a wrong answer means, banded answers at real tariffs with the discriminator spelled out, and named-group adaptations that change access rather than demand — including a full route through every unit for a student who cannot take part practically, assessed on the same rubric rows.
No board is named on any teaching page and no specification wording is reproduced. A table at the back sets out what genuinely varies between the awarding organisations and what you must check locally before September.
