PSHE

PSHE Education (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) is a planned programme of learning through which children and young people acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to successfully manage their lives – now and in the future. As part of a whole-school approach, PSHE Education develops the qualities and attributes pupils need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society.

At Longmoor, we follow the Jigsaw PSHE scheme of work. Jigsaw PSHE is a comprehensive and completely original Scheme of Work for the whole Primary School from Foundation Stages 1 and 2 through to Year 6. It brings together PSHE Education, emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development in a comprehensive scheme of learning.

 SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural) development opportunities are mapped throughout. All of these pieces of learning are brought together to form a cohesive picture, helping children to know and value who they are and understand how they relate to other people in the world.

Jigsaw contributes, to the British Values agenda very significantly, both through the direct teaching of information and through the experiential learning children will enjoy.

The 5 strands of the British Values agenda have been mapped across every Puzzle and every Piece (lesson).

Jigsaw assemblies begin each puzzle so the whole school follow the same theme.  We are proud of the way we promote emotional well-being for all our pupils through our Jigsaw programme, which underpins the whole of our curriculum.
