How will assess the learning in PSHE?
Assessment of learning will be carried out throughout each session and lesson will be tailored to different needs of the pupils. As well as this, we will use the attainment descriptors in each unit of work to see if the children have met the learning. These descriptors are outlined on the document below.

PSHE Curriculum
We are extremely excited that we are using Jigsaw to help us deliver PSHE and RSE.
Designed as a whole-school approach, Jigsaw PSHE / Health and Well-being provides a detailed and comprehensive scheme of learning for ages 3-16. Jigsaw provides well-structured, progressive lesson plans with all teaching resources included. Jigsaw is a unique, spiral, progressive and effective scheme of work, aiming to prepare children/young people for life, helping them really know and value who they are and understand how they relate to other people in this ever-changing world.
What are the benefits to using JIGSAW?
Mindfuless is when you are aware of your thoughts and feelings as they happen, in the present moment, on purpose and with no judgement.
It can be learnt, and techniques to develop it taught. It also needs to be practised. We believe mindfulness is a vital tool for life: not only does it support the regulation of emotion and build emotional resilience but also enhances focus and concentration; both helping to optimise learning. Mindful children can more readily choose their responses to situations rather than react while caught up in the thought-flows and emotions.
In Jigsaw PSHE, mindfulness is developed through the ‘Calm Me’ time in each piece (lesson). This consists of breathing techniques, awareness exercises and visualisations - all tried, tested and very enjoyable activities for children and teachers alike. Observing your thoughts and feelings, on purpose, in the present moment with no judgement… What a gift!
The Six Puzzles
There are six Puzzles in Jigsaw that are designed to progress in sequence from September to July:
- Autumn 1: Being Me in My World
- Autumn 2: Celebrating Difference (including anti-bullying)
- Spring 1: Dreams and Goals

Each year there is a parent consultation for RSE in the latter part of the Spring Term.
