Year 9 Physical
Education
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.
- 1aInvasion Games: Team Systems and Roles
- 1bOutdoor and Adventurous Activity: Problem Solving and Trust
- 2aNet and Wall: Match Play, Officiating and Analysis
- 2bHealth, Fitness and Lifelong Participation
- 3aStriking and Fielding: Captaincy and Game Management
- 3bAthletics and Competition: Personal Best and Pathways
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.
