TME Performance Athletics Years 10–11 | Ages 14–16 | KS4

TME Performance Athletics is a complete seven-lesson Scheme of Learning designed for Years 10–11 Core PE. It develops confident, sustained athletics performance while giving pupils increasing responsibility for preparation, coaching, officiating, analysis and personal improvement. The emphasis is on meaningful participation and transferable performance skills rather than examination content.

The lessons progressively cover sprint phases and timed performance, middle-distance pacing and tactics, sprint-relay changeovers, long-jump approach and take-off, high-jump approach and safe clearance, throwing techniques and a final multi-event performance festival. Pupils use times, distances, observations and validity decisions to analyse their performance, make justified adjustments and set realistic personal targets.

The 16-page resource includes two detailed curriculum and assessment pages, seven one-page lesson plans and seven matching lesson infographics. The introductory pages provide curriculum context, prior-learning expectations, safety guidance, Know and Show outcomes, vocabulary, Head–Heart–Hands assessment descriptors, Assessment for Learning and inclusive SEND and EAL delivery.

Every lesson includes:

• Head, Heart and Hands learning objectives
• Timed Warm-up, Explore, Develop, Apply and Plenary activities
• Detailed organisation, measurements, equipment and teaching cues
• Explicit athletics safety and purposeful non-performing roles
• STEP differentiation for support and increased challenge
• SEND and EAL adaptations that preserve the learning intention
• AfL checks and measurable performance evidence
• Plan–Monitor–Reflect metacognition and structured oracy prompts

This provides teachers with a practical, visually supported programme that can be delivered confidently across a range of facilities and pupil starting points.
