Intent

Our PSHE curriculum is designed to ensure that learners:

• are prepared for the next stages in their lives
• know and value who they truly are 
• understand, accept and celebrate similarities and differences between themselves and others

We follow the Jigsaw teaching scheme for PSHE. Jigsaw is a unique, spiral, progressive and effective scheme of work. The Jigsaw Programme offers us a comprehensive, carefully thought-through Scheme of Work which brings consistency and progression to our children’s learning in this vital curriculum area. This also supports the “Personal Development”and “Behaviour and Attitude” aspects required under the Ofsted Inspection Framework, as well as significantly contributing to the school’s Safeguarding and Equality Duties, the Government’s British Values aganda and the SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social, Cultural) development opportunities provided for our children.
