Physical Education
Scheme of Work

The last year every student takes PE whether they want to or not, and the year is built around that. They lead, officiate, analyse and choose, and every block ends by naming where the activity continues afterwards.

Cover of Year 9 Physical Education Scheme of Work

Ten sections per block, in the same order every time. Weeks rather than lessons, because PE is timetabled at about two hours a week.

Outdoor and adventurous activity arrives here, held back from Years 7 and 8 deliberately so the problem-solving and trust work is genuine rather than a game. A Year 7 group given a problem plays at it; a Year 9 group argues about it, and the argument is where the learning is.

Unit 2b is the block this scheme is really building towards. Most people stop exercising within a year of leaving school, so it is a planning and access block rather than a fitness one — barriers named honestly and answered specifically, and every student leaving with a named activity, a place, a night and a cost rather than an intention.

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.

The sequence

What this scheme of work covers, unit by unit

The 6 units of the Year 9 Physical Education Scheme of Work, in teaching order, with the term each one runs in and the question it is built to answer.

  1. 1a

    Invasion Games: Team Systems and Roles

    One half-term block · approx. 7 weeks · rotate to suit facilities

    Your team is losing with ten minutes left. What actually changes?

  2. 1b

    Outdoor and Adventurous Activity: Problem Solving and Trust

    One half-term block · approx. 7 weeks · or one off-timetable day plus follow-up

    Your group has failed the task three times. What do you change — the plan, or how you are talking to each other?

  3. 2a

    Net and Wall: Match Play, Officiating and Analysis

    One half-term block · approx. 7 weeks · rotate to suit facilities

    You lost. Was it your technique, your tactics, or your decisions?

  4. 2b

    Health, Fitness and Lifelong Participation

    One half-term block · approx. 7 weeks · rotate to suit facilities

    Most people stop exercising within a year of leaving school. What would have to be different for you?

  5. 3a

    Striking and Fielding: Captaincy and Game Management

    One half-term block · approx. 7 weeks · rotate to suit facilities

    You are twenty runs ahead with four overs left. What is your job now?

  6. 3b

    Athletics and Competition: Personal Best and Pathways

    One half-term block · approx. 7 weeks · schedule for usable weather

    This is the last athletics you have to do. What would make you do it again?
