Subject Intent:
The aim of Jigsaw PSHE is to provide a high quality and engaging curriculum that includes statutory Relationships and Health Education. The scheme of work is planned in a spiral, progressive way and gives children relevant learning experiences to help them navigate their world and to develop positive relationships with themselves and others. There is a very strong emphasis on emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health.
You can find a copy of this policy on our policies page or request a copy from the school office.
The children will have the opportunity to:
- Develop a sense of belonging and being part of the school community.
- Focus on diversity and how to accept everyone’s right to be different. They will also look at bullying; what it is and what it isn’t.
- Rethink about their hopes and dreams, their goals for success, what personal strengths are, and how to overcome challenges, via teamwork skills and tasks.
- Look at the two main areas of health; emotional and physical.
- Find out about growing from young and developing assertiveness and self-respect
