The Year 11 badminton medium-term plan, aimed at Key Stage 4 students, spans six lessons with the intent to enhance core badminton skills and apply them in competitive and physically demanding drills. The objective is to cultivate the students' ability to critically evaluate performances and provide constructive feedback. The course prepares them for tournaments, equipping them to both officiate and compete effectively. A deeper understanding of healthy active lifestyles and fitness is also a key focus. By the end of the course, students at varying levels of proficiency will be able to engage in small-sided games, apply a range of core skills in gameplay, and demonstrate tactical awareness and independent game management.

The curriculum covers an array of knowledge and skills including shot selection, core skill sequences, tactical gameplay, and rule application. Students will learn to execute various shots such as the clear, drop shot, net shot, and smash with precision and control. The lessons are structured to build upon fundamental skills in diverse contexts, involve game situations that require tactical thinking, and encourage independent decision-making and performance evaluation. The program also emphasizes personal development, underscoring the importance of sportsmanship and active lifestyles. Career opportunities in the sports industry are highlighted to provide students with insights into potential future paths.
