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.

Physical Confidence, Movement Foundations & Safe Participation
Physical Literacy, Coordination Tracking and Movement Confidence
Fundamental movement skills, balance, coordination, agility, spatial awareness, body control, warm-up routines, safe movement, baseline motor tracking, and physical literacy.
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."
- • Practical: Demonstrate safe participation, movement control, balance and coordination.
- • Reflection: Record a personal baseline and identify one movement confidence target.
Teamwork, Communication and Modified Game Fundamentals
Passing, receiving, movement into space, communication, cooperation, possession, transition, support play, inclusive invasion games, net and wall games, and modified games.
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."
- • Practical: Apply simple teamwork, communication and movement principles in modified game situations.
- • Tactical: Identify how space, support and possession affect game outcomes.
The Standard DDP PE Lesson Architecture Runner
Simulate or run a 60-minute neuro-affirming PE lesson structure. Guides instruction pacing automatically.
Zone 1: Anchoring
Students use arrival regulation, safe warm-up routines, mobility work and visual success criteria to reduce comparison anxiety.
Zone 2: Exploration
Students practise movement, technique, game roles, tactical decision-making, fitness challenges and inclusive performance tasks.
Zone 3: Translation
Students translate practical performance into technical vocabulary, reflection, health data, tactical evaluation and next-step targets.
DDP Teacher Script Engine
Select a typical classroom barrier below to practise the recommended delivery intervention script.
Each script provides a direct, low-demand verbal instruction.
"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."
Using public ranking, fastest scores, or comparison language before learners feel safe in movement.
Moves attention from public comparison to individual progress, reducing avoidance and increasing participation.
DDP PE Technical Terminology Glossary

Physical Literacy
The confidence, competence, knowledge and motivation to be physically active across life.
Agility
The ability to change direction quickly and effectively while maintaining control.
Cardiovascular Endurance
The ability of the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen to working muscles during sustained activity.
Biomechanics
The study of how the body moves and generates force during physical activity.
Recovery
The process of allowing the body to repair, regulate and adapt after exercise.
Resilience
The ability to recover from setbacks and continue working towards personal goals.

DDP Diverse Resource Bank: Physical Education
Department rule: where a scientist, example, context, data set, image or role model is the teacher's choice, it is drawn from this bank so that Black, female and neurodivergent people are the norm across the course, not an exception. Check names, roles and organisations each year.
Athletes for applied anatomy and training
Dina Asher-Smith for sprint mechanics; Mo Farah for aerobic training and periodisation; Nicola Adams for boxing and reaction time; Jessica Ennis-Hill and Denise Lewis for multi-event training loads; Kelly Holmes on mental health in elite sport; Bukayo Saka and Raheem Sterling for the football contexts most learners already follow. Physiology is taught with a named athlete's data wherever the specification allows.
Paralympians and inclusive organisations
Tanni Grey-Thompson, Ellie Simmonds, Kadeena Cox, Jonnie Peacock and Ade Adepitan for classification, adaptation and training; Activity Alliance, Special Olympics GB and Sense for inclusive practice; the Black Swimming Association founded by Alice Dearing for the water-safety and access strand.
Regulation, routine and sport
Simone Biles and Michael Phelps on ADHD and the structure that training gives; Louis Smith on ADHD in gymnastics; Naomi Osaka on mental health and withdrawal as a valid choice. Sensory regulation through movement is taught as a legitimate training goal, with the National Autistic Society's sport guidance as the reference.
Participation and barriers
Sport England's This Girl Can and Women in Sport research on the teenage drop-off; Alex Scott and Emma Raducanu as visible pathways; Kick It Out and Sporting Equals for race in sport. Participation data in the socio-cultural strand comes from these sources with the figures named.
Roles beyond playing
Coaching and officiating role models are named for every activity block so that leadership, not only performance, is visible: women and Black officials in football and athletics, disability sport classifiers, performance analysts. Learners who will not compete are shown the routes that still keep them in sport.
Writing and showing the practice material
Photographs, video clips and written scenarios show a range of bodies, ethnicities and abilities performing skilfully; scenarios in the assessment sifter feature a disabled or neurodivergent performer succeeding with an adaptation, not being excused from the task. Clips are chosen from the athletes above before any others.
