Ten sections per block, in the same order every time. Weeks rather than lessons, because PE is timetabled at about two hours a week as a double or two singles.
Written for a carousel. Almost no PE department teaches one unit to a whole year group at a time. There is one hall, one gym and one field, and groups rotate. So the six blocks stand alone within a year and the document says plainly what may be reordered and what may not. The strand across years is the dependency; the term a block falls in is not.
Four pages a head of PE looks for and rarely finds: the six strands mapped across all three years, how to run the whole thing as a carousel, every activity area with the risks that actually produce injuries and what the department does about them, and a page on teaching this outside the UK (heat, Ramadan, kit and facilities) for departments that are not working to an English school year.
Every duration and activity is a strong default rather than a fixed rule. The activity named in each block is the department’s choice; what is fixed is the strand and what it teaches.

The sequence
What this scheme of work covers, unit by unit
The 6 units of the Year 7 Physical Education Scheme of Work, in teaching order, with the term each one runs in and the question it is built to answer.

One half-term block · approx. 7 weeks · rotate to suit facilities
Why does a team that is better at running lose to a team that is better at passing?

One half-term block · approx. 7 weeks · rotate to suit facilities
Why can some people hold a shape still and others cannot?
2a
Net and Wall: Creating Space

If your opponent is standing in the middle, where do you hit it?
2b
Fitness and How the Body Responds
One half-term block · approx. 7 weeks · rotate to suit facilities
Why are you out of breath, and why does it stop happening so quickly?
3a
Striking and Fielding: Roles in the Field
One half-term block · approx. 7 weeks · rotate to suit facilities
Nine people are standing still. What is each of them actually doing?
