This document provides guidance for teaching long jump in physical education at key stage 3. It outlines the key processes, level descriptions, learning objectives, and criteria for assessment. Pupils should be able to sprint, take off from one foot, and land using a "shoot" technique to absorb the impact. The focus is on developing control of whole body skills and selecting tactics effectively for long jump. Safety and maintaining fitness levels through regular exercise are also emphasized.
