PE scheme of work, Key Stage 3 and GCSE

Year 7 · Year 8 · Year 9 · Year 10 · Year 11 · 30 units in all

Six half-termly units an academic year, set out as one sequence table instead of a page per lesson. Each year is written backwards from what the next one states it assumes on entry, so Year 7 ends where Year 8 needs it to start and nothing is taught twice by accident. Every unit maps to the statutory content. The GCSE books run to 86 to 88 pages each against 43 pages at Key Stage 3. Most departments just call it a SOW. In the staffroom it is “GCSE PE”.

Each Key Stage 3 book in this PE scheme of work has a page on running the year as a carousel, for the usual problem of one hall, one gym, one field and three or four groups timetabled at once: which blocks can be rotated freely, and which strand order has to hold. Safety by activity area gets its own page in each.

Board-neutral by construction. No board’s specification is followed. The units map to the Department for Education’s own subject content, which AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel each have to cover however they order or label it. A department teaches this sequence whichever board they sit. A change of board does not mean a change of scheme.
