Personal, Social and Health Education, including Relationships Education
Personal, Social & Health Education is delivered to each year group weekly using the 'Jigsaw' scheme of work. Jigsaw’s philosophy starts by building positive self-image, a sense of identity and a healthy relationship with self, and from that starting point helps children grow healthy relationships with others. Jigsaw embraces not only physical health but has a strong focus on mental health and emotional literacy throughout, and empowers children to be aware of their own thoughts and feelings and know how to manage and regulate these.
There are 6 key themes, A different key theme is explored each half term across the school.
- Being Me In My World
- Celebrating Difference
- Dreams & Goals
- Healthy Me
- Relationships
- Changing Me
