PSHE

PSHE stands for Personal, Social, Health Education

PSHE education is a planned programme of learning through which children and young people acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives – now and in the future. As a school after recommendations from other schools, we decided to deliver our PSHE curriculum through use of a scheme called ‘Jigsaw – the mindful approach to PSHE’.

 

What is Jigsaw, and how does it work?

Jigsaw is a comprehensive and completely original PSHE Education programme for the whole primary school from EYFS through to Year 6 (ages 3-11). It was launched in July 2013 and hundreds of schools across the country are using it.

 

Jigsaw has two aims for all children:

• To build their capacity for learning

• To equip them for life

 

Jigsaw brings together PSHE Education, emotional literacy, mindfulness, social skills and spiritual development. A variety of teaching strategies are used and are mindful of each child’s preferred learning style. Jigsaw is designed as a whole school approach, with all year groups working on the same theme (Puzzle) at the same time.
