PSHE
At St John’s Highbury Vale, we have chosen to use the Jigsaw PSHE scheme of work, which is based around mindfulness and is given a high priority across the school.
Jigsaw PSHE perfectly connects the pieces of Personal, Social and Health Education, emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development into an easy to use lesson-a-week programme.
Designed as a whole-school approach, Jigsaw provides a detailed and comprehensive scheme of learning for ages 3-16. Jigsaw makes teachers’ lives easier by providing extremely well-structured, progressive lesson plans with teaching resources included.
Jigsaw is a unique, spiral, progressive and effective scheme of work, aiming to prepare children for life, helping them really know and value who they truly are and understand how they relate to other people in this ever-changing world.
At St John’s, we aim to equip our children to go out into the world ready for all challenges they meet along the way. This scheme incorporates the teaching of British values, SRE and has strong links to SMSC (spiritual, moral, social and cultural), which works well alongside Church of England school.
To see more of the resources used in class please follow the link below, or ask class teachers to see the teaching material.
Welcome to Jigsaw PSHE
Parents will be invited to Key Stage meetings at the beginning of the summer term, to discuss the particular resources and teaching materials used in the SRE (Sex Relationship Education) topic.
