This booklet contains 27 cover lessons for Key Stage 3 PE. Using current National Curriculum terminology, they embrace a range of activities and cater for all students of all abilities. Specific sports are included, covering netball, football, athletics, tennis, swimming, gymnastics, dance and rounders. In addition, there are a number of worksheets which are non-activity specific and provide the students with the opportunity to demonstrate existing knowledge and progress their understanding of areas which may not be so familiar to them.

Use of the Student Voice is crucial towards the delivery of a successful PE programme in schools, and this resource features simple to use End of Year Reviews for Y7-9, and also a straightforward yet detailed questionnaire which can be used with any year group. Both the reviews and the questionnaire cover all aspects of PE, both within and beyond the curriculum.

The activities include wordsearches, code breakers, leadership planning, poster designing and quizzes. Many of the resources can be photocopied and handed out to each student, whilst others only require one copy for the class teacher to give the group the instructions – this booklet is therefore ideal for helping you to cover both planned and unplanned absence. Teachers will find that some of the suggested activities could also be used alongside existing practical lessons, and others can be used either in traditional classrooms or computer rooms. Some worksheets could also be used as starters for GCSE or BTEC PE, and there are also activities which could support the delivery of the Level One Qualification in Sports Leadership.
