Physical Education Medium-Term Plan: The DDP Delivery Framework

DDP Operational Week-by-Week Instructional Blueprint

Physical Education: Medium-Term Delivery Plan

A structured, ready-to-implement instructional delivery schedule mapping Physical Education across three progressive developmental milestones: Awakening, Change, and Embrace. The plan preserves GCSE PE requirements while shifting delivery towards inclusive coordination tracking, individual health plans, sports anatomy, tactical evaluations, physical literacy, and long-term wellbeing.

GCSE PE Aligned Inclusive Movement Ready

Phase 1 (Awakening) Timeline

Physical Confidence, Movement Foundations & Safe Participation

Weeks 1 – 4 Focus: Physical Literacy

Physical Literacy, Coordination Tracking and Movement Confidence

Concrete PE Focus:

Fundamental movement skills, balance, coordination, agility, spatial awareness, body control, warm-up routines, safe movement, baseline motor tracking, and physical literacy.

Teacher Delivery Script & Accommodation Strategy:

Reduce comparison anxiety by tracking progress from the learner's individual starting point rather than ranking public performance.

"Today's goal is not to be the fastest or the strongest. Today's goal is to understand how your body moves and to notice one movement that becomes easier with practice."

Assessment Criteria Matrix:

• Practical: Demonstrate safe participation, movement control, balance and coordination.
• Reflection: Record a personal baseline and identify one movement confidence target.

Weeks 5 – 12 Focus: Teamwork & Games

Teamwork, Communication and Modified Game Fundamentals

Concrete PE Focus:

Passing, receiving, movement into space, communication, cooperation, possession, transition, support play, inclusive invasion games, net and wall games, and modified games.

Teacher Delivery Script & Accommodation Strategy:

Protect learners from dysregulating competition by assigning clear roles and using small-sided games with visible success criteria.

"Your role today is to contribute to the team system. That could mean passing, finding space, communicating clearly, supporting a teammate, or making one tactical decision."

Assessment Criteria Matrix:

• Practical: Apply simple teamwork, communication and movement principles in modified game situations.
• Tactical: Identify how space, support and possession affect game outcomes.

Phase 2 (Change) Timeline

Sports Technique, Tactical Understanding & Exercise Science

Weeks 13 – 20 Focus: Technique & Tactics

Sports Performance, Technique Refinement and Tactical Evaluation

Concrete PE Focus:

Athletics, invasion games, striking and fielding, net and wall games, technique, accuracy, power, control, biomechanics, attacking and defending principles, tactical evaluation, and peer coaching.

Teacher Delivery Script & Accommodation Strategy:

Frame improvement as measured progress, not public ranking or one-off performance judgement.

"We are not measuring who is best. We are measuring what changed from your starting point. Pick one technique detail, practise it, and look for evidence of improvement."

Assessment Criteria Matrix:

• Practical: Demonstrate improved technique, control, accuracy and tactical decision-making.
• Evaluation: Explain performance improvements using specific technical vocabulary.

Weeks 21 – 26 Focus: Health, Fitness & Anatomy

Sports Anatomy, Fitness Data and Individual Health Planning

Concrete PE Focus:

Components of fitness, cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, body composition, heart rate, recovery, nutrition, training methods, skeletal and muscular systems, and individual health plan.

Teacher Delivery Script & Accommodation Strategy:

Use data and anatomy as self-knowledge, not as body comparison or shame-based fitness instruction.

"Fitness data is information, not judgement. Heart rate, recovery time and effort levels help us design a plan that supports your body safely."

Assessment Criteria Matrix:

• Knowledge: Explain components of fitness, heart rate, recovery and basic anatomy.
• Application: Design a simple, safe and personalised health or training plan.

Phase 3 (Embrace) Timeline

Performance Optimisation, Leadership & Lifelong Physical Activity

Weeks 27 – 32 Focus: Optimisation & Leadership

Performance Optimisation, Leadership and Peer Evaluation

Concrete PE Focus:

Goal setting, performance analysis, self-evaluation, leadership, officiating, peer feedback, resilience, motivation, team dynamics, tactical evaluation, and video or observation feedback.

Teacher Delivery Script & Accommodation Strategy:

Use structured evaluation to identify small technical changes and leadership actions, avoiding broad or personal criticism.

"Elite performers improve by noticing small changes. Today's focus is identifying one thing that improved, one thing that needs refining, and one action for next time."

Assessment Criteria Matrix:

• Performance: Analyse own performance and demonstrate targeted improvement actions.
• Leadership: Give constructive peer feedback, lead warm-ups or support tactical organisation.

Weeks 33 – 36 Focus: Wellbeing & Lifelong Activity

Lifelong Physical Activity, Wellbeing and Personal Health Plans

Concrete PE Focus:

Physical health, mental wellbeing, recovery, active lifestyles, community sport, barriers to participation, personal responsibility, sustainable activity, motivation, individual health planning and long-term wellbeing goals.

Teacher Delivery Script & Accommodation Strategy:

Frame physical activity as personal regulation, health, community and independence rather than competitive sport only.

"Lifelong activity does not have to look like competitive sport. The question is: what movement helps your body, your energy, your confidence and your wellbeing?"

Assessment Criteria Matrix:

• Planning: Create a realistic personal activity and wellbeing plan.
• Evaluation: Explain how physical activity supports long-term health, independence and emotional regulation.

1. Choose Typical Learning Block

Each script provides a direct, low-demand verbal instruction.

Phase 1: Physical Confidence Standard Aligned

Teacher Verbal Intervention Script:

"Every athlete starts somewhere. Improvement matters more than perfection. Your success today is one movement, one decision, or one piece of control that is better than when you started."

Traditional Pitfall

Using public ranking, fastest scores, or comparison language before learners feel safe in movement.

Neuro-Affirming Benefit

Moves attention from public comparison to individual progress, reducing avoidance and increasing participation.

DDP PE Technical Terminology Glossary

Search or filter technical PE, anatomy, fitness and performance terminology used across the Medium-Term Plan. Definitions are loaded instantly.

Phase 1: Movement

Physical Literacy

The confidence, competence, knowledge and motivation to be physically active across life.

DDP Strategy: Measure progress from the learner's own baseline.

Phase 1: Movement

Agility

The ability to change direction quickly and effectively while maintaining control.

Example: changing direction during a small-sided invasion game.

Phase 2: Fitness

Cardiovascular Endurance

The ability of the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen to working muscles during sustained activity.

Tracked through activity duration, effort level and recovery time.

Phase 2: Anatomy

Biomechanics

The study of how the body moves and generates force during physical activity.

DDP Strategy: Use slow-motion observation to identify one technique change.

Phase 2: Fitness

Recovery

The process of allowing the body to repair, regulate and adapt after exercise.

Includes rest, hydration, breathing, cool-down and sleep.

Phase 3: Wellbeing

Resilience

The ability to recover from setbacks and continue working towards personal goals.

DDP Strategy: Track one next step rather than judging the whole performance.
