Our physical education curriculum

Introduction

We’ve worked closely with curriculum partners, subject experts and teachers on our interactive physical education (PE) curriculum plan. You can also download the plan to use offline to help with your planning.

Our curriculum partners for PE are:

• primary and secondary : PE Scholar

Curriculum explainer

We've added a curriculum explainer to our PE curriculum to help you understand our thinking when we were making them with our curriculum partner.

For PE this will help you understand:

• our overarching curriculum approach and the subject principles we used
• how our curriculum reflects the aims and purpose of the national curriculum
• information on delivering it in your school
• how we use threads to provide curriculum coherence.

When will all the resources be available?

We're releasing the new resources on a rolling basis, as soon as they're ready. By autumn 2025, you'll have access to everything we're releasing for PE.

Our new units and lessons will all have a ‘New’ label beside them. 

You can see what lessons we'll cover in each unit by clicking into the unit information on the unit sequence page.
