Product Information

Schools can of course adapt this content as they feel is appropriate for their pupils in line with the statutory guidance. We also provide leaflets and a parent presentation that schools can use as part of their parental engagement on RSE. We do not believe it is controversial. It is flexible enough for a school to ensure that the material fits their ethos and values and there is a strong safeguarding element to the ‘Changing Me’ Puzzle (as there is throughout Jigsaw).

The second is through the ‘Pause Points’ in lessons where children are invited to stop and look inside to practice observing their thoughts and feelings relating to their learning in the lesson. We also provide leaflets and a parent presentation that schools can use as part of their parental engagement on RSE. Mindfulness philosophy and practice are woven throughout making Jigsaw a unique, progressive and effective scheme of work for this area of the curriculum. Definitely! Each Jigsaw Puzzle is launched across the whole school at the same time with a specific Puzzle Launch Assembly designed to appeal to all the year groups. These assemblies initiate key learning messages that are then reinforced in the lessons and Weekly Celebrations. This helps maintain focus and intention for both children and staff. The Jigsaw 3-12 mapping and progression documents show how pupils develop their knowledge and understanding about the topics discussed in the classroom as well as their social and emotional learning throughout Jigsaw.The sex education in Jigsaw is progressive and developmental and is naturally built into the Changing Me Puzzle as part of the teaching about how our bodies change in puberty so that we are able to reproduce when we are older. Within this, there are also lessons looking at what bullying is, why it happens, and how we can all behave in a way that supports each other, including the pros and cons of peer influence, how to say no, where to go for help and how to support others. Alongside this, we have mapped the specific lesson planning in Jigsaw with the content that is relevant to the six sections of the PSHE Association’s Planning Framework for pupils with SEND. The RSHE that we teach in Jigsaw has two main functions: to help children enjoy successful relationships (with friends, siblings, parents, etc.) and to keep them safe, now and in the future. Jigsaw values teachers’ professional judgement and knowledge of how to best support the pupils in their classrooms. We ensure that our programme has all the content and support that a busy teacher needs to deliver high quality PSHE for all the children in the classroom, whatever the topic or political climate.

Yes. Jigsaw starts to include teaching and learning about online safety from Age 6-7yrs, which builds on earlier learning about what makes a good friendship, how to treat others with respect and kindness and what to do if you feel unsafe and might need help. We do not have lessons that single out just one particular group in a lesson such as race, sexuality, disability or gender but these aspects are reflected in the lessons in an age appropriate way with lessons explaining the importance of the Equality Act and Protected Characteristics in Upper Primary, when we find pupils are also naturally bringing more questions on these areas to the classroom. There are then weekly pupil self assessments in every lesson, as well as summative assessment opportunities built into the last piece of every Puzzle (unit of work). Much of the active learning content in Jigsaw is discussion based, but we encourage the use of individual Jigsaw Journals to keep a record of individual children’s formative assessment from these lessons and any written work and certificates that children receive both in and out of the lessons that are relevant to their learning in PSHE. Extremely user-friendly and highly accessible portal rammed with high quality materials and supportThese are mapped clearly to the statutory requirements as well as to the Education for a Connected World guidance. The third is through the other parts of the taught curriculum where children explore their thoughts and feelings, expand their emotional vocabulary, learn about and reflect on the thoughts/feelings/consequences sequences, build their confidence and express themselves in a safe environment. We have mapped all Jigsaw lessons against the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and found that all Jigsaw lessons contribute to one or more of these values in some way. Rather, Jigsaw makes a significant contribution towards ensuring that the curriculum and the learning environment that children experience lays down a grounding in which the ideological and emotional roots of extremist beliefs, attitudes and behaviours cannot flourish. Every Jigsaw Piece (lesson) contributes to this target and our mapping grids clearly indicate which elements are enhanced in each lesson. Every lesson in Jigsaw has 2 learning intentions – one of which is always social and emotional.

The Jigsaw Pieces (lessons) in the Changing Me Puzzle (unit) aim to give children their entitlement to information about puberty and human reproduction, appropriate to their age and stage of development. It is treated in a matter-of-fact manner to allay embarrassment and fear. We do not believe it is controversial. It is flexible enough for a school to ensure that the material fits their ethos and values and there is a strong safeguarding element to the ‘Changing Me’ Puzzle (as there is throughout Jigsaw). You are looking for an inclusive, progressive, age-appropriate whole- school development tool that is comprehensive and completely original for building an impressive range of social and emotional skills and boosting the positive mental health of children. LinksWe also have a mapping document for schools showing the parallels between Jigsaw’s approach and content for Relationships, Health and Sex Education with regard to “Learning to Love” as well as the DfE statutory requirements for Relationships and Health Education in Primary Schools (England 2019). This can be used to help you compare the teaching materials with your school’s local diocese guidance. The practice of mindfulness, where children learn to be in the present moment without judgement, is taught in every Jigsaw lesson in 3 different ways: A mentally healthy school is one that adopts a whole-school approach to mental health and wellbeing which is why over 5000 schools have already made their choice and plumbed for Jigsaw PSHE. What was missing was a programme that had worked out the progression and the structure and what to teach and at which stage while making it fun, enjoyable and creative for the children and the teachers."
