Practical support to help you deliver this Edexcel specification
Scheme of work
This scheme of work has been produced to help you implement this Edexcel specification. It is offered as an example of one possible model that you should
feel free to adapt to meet your needs and is not intended to be in any way prescriptive. It is in editable word format to make adaptation as easy as possible.

Teaching resource exemplars
The scheme of work contains suggestions for resources that you can use to support your teaching. These are suggestions only of material you may find useful
and you are encouraged to use a wide range of resources that suit the needs of your students.

This shows how a term-by-term or week-by-week approach to the content can be organised ie the basis of a scheme of work.

Pre-Planning
In Physical Education there is no “perfect Model” that all centres can follow because there are so many variables and these may include:
• Facilities
• Centre — Boys, Girls or mixed centre
• Number of students
• Options that can be offered on-site in the centre programme
• Off-site activities which need to be videoed because they take place outside the centre
• Time-table, number and length of lessons
• Staff expertise.

Specification content
Unit 3
Students will learn the theoretical parts of the course better if they are taught these topics through practical activity. This ‘hands-on’ approach to learning will help the candidates when they come
to answer their written examination. We have offered Unit in 2 pathways to match the information as laid out in the specification but centres may also want to split this suggested scheme further to
reflect the traditional strands of A2 PE and we have identified these in the table – exercise physiology strand (ExPhys), Sport Psychology Strand (SpPsy) and elite support strand ( ELS)
