4 free Year 6 PE lesson plans for KS2. Each includes learning objectives, key vocabulary, a timed lesson structure and common misconceptions, and downloads as an editable Word document.
In Year 6, pupils reach the highest level of their primary PE education. They are expected to perform, compose and evaluate across all areas of the curriculum with confidence, maturity and ambition. Pupils take leadership roles — officiating, coaching, planning warm-ups and choreographing dances — and begin to think like sports performers and artists.
Games
Pupils develop their understanding and performance in invasion games (football, netball, basketball, or tag rugby).
Pupils apply tactical concepts in invasion games across different contexts (football, basketball, tag rugby or hockey, depending on availability).
