Physical Education teaching resources

Everything the site has for Physical Education in one place — a subject playbook, schemes of work, examination playbooks, questions with model answers, knowledge organisers and free classroom posters. Written inside a school, not a consultancy, and built from the published subject content rather than from any one board's papers.

The Physical Education playbook

One book for the whole department — the argument the rest of the shelf is built on.

  2. 2 Competence
  3. 3 Knowledge
  4. 4 Participation

Physical Education · Key Stage 3 £3.99

Year 8 Physical Education Scheme of Work

The same six strands, one block of each. Year 7 built competence; this is where the decisions arrive — a student who can receive a ball is asked what to do with it, and one who can rally is asked to construct a point.

  2. 1b Gymnastics and Dance: Composition
  3. 2a Net and Wall: Outwitting an Opponent

Questions and model answers

A hundred questions a book, each answered three times — weak, middling and strong — with the one move that separates them named.

Physical Education · GCSE £4.99

GCSE Physical Education Questions & Model Answers

GCSE PE turns into a definition test the moment the questions stop naming a performer, and a definition test is what students revise for and then fail. Seventy-four per cent of the marks here are set in a real sporting situation, with a build-failing floor at seventy. Every muscle, joint, plane, axis and lever class on the page is looked up from a table rather than typed, and every diagram is drawn from that same table, so a figure cannot contradict the sentence beside it.

  1. 1 Applied anatomy and physiology
  2. 2 Movement analysis
  3. 3 Physical training
  4. 4 Use of data
  5. 5 Sport psychology
  6. 6 Socio-cultural influences
  7. 7 Health, fitness and well-being
  8. 8 Answering the paper

The GCSE subject content for physical education published by the Department for Education, and the assessment objective weightings set by Ofqual — measured here against the written paper, since the practical objective carries 40% that no book can assess · 107 pages, 8 sections · For PE teachers and heads of department — used with a class, not a student revision guide
