of mental health problems are established by the age of 14 which is why early intervention matters and primary schools play such a vital role in providing high quality PSHE lessons.
The Jigsaw PSHE programme provides well-researched lessons covering essential areas in a student’s life development. It helps them build self-esteem and resilience while encouraging them to recognise their own strengths. These Weekly Celebration Assemblies can be used as part of the Jigsaw scheme or stand-alone and are available now in the Jigsaw online store. Having a chat with a friend or relative over the phone can be the next best thing to being with them. Our Celebrating Difference Puzzle in the Autumn term truly looks at the diversity in our local and wider communities and the benefits that this brings to us all.

The suggested picture books are more integral to teaching in Reception and Nursery, but many schools find they already have many of these titles, or have their own favourites on the same themes they can use instead. The whole school approach in Jigsaw means that every year group is studying the same theme at the same time e.g. ‘Celebrating Difference’ in Autumn 2. A universal, core PSHE curriculum and programme for the whole Primary School including statutory Relationships and Health Education Every teacher in a Jigsaw school has access to a Jigsaw mentor who can help to find documents, explain things that they may have questions about in connection to their class, or simply help to explain how something works when there are a hundred other things in that week they are having to contend with.
As ever, the emphasis is on helping children realise their independence and responsibility for themselves, rather than employing scare tactics and horror stories to frighten children and dissuade them from choosing certain paths. This content reflects the most up-to-date guidance from the Department and ETI which recommends that schools have a planned preventative programme for RSE as part of PD+MU, with clear policies and starting from the very beginning of school. There are lots of Catholic schools using Jigsaw and some of these are implementing the Changing Me materials as they are, others have tweaked them to fit their requirements. For example, in Jigsaw we use specially-designed animations to help teach some of the elements of sex education: most schools use the animations, while some schools choose not to. It’s your choice – there is no obligation either way. We do not believe our content is controversial. Many of our schools have been using the Jigsaw materials for sex education and puberty confidently before it became statutory for several years with the support of parents and carers. These are not written tests, but activities such as continuums or discussions that encourage deeper thinking and reflection. 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).Children are taught to know their own minds, to operate from a position of self-awareness and self-valuing, and to develop the capacity to empathise with others. Children develop the skills and confidence in Jigsaw to have respectful discussions around sensitive subjects, and in upper KS2 this includes lessons around topics such as belonging, peer pressure, changing relationships and gangs, which can be built upon in more specific lessons when they reach secondary school. The Jigsaw 3-11 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. This helps class teachers to identify specific areas where the teaching and learning can be adapted to suit the needs of different children, sometimes from an alternative year group’s resources.
