SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural) development opportunities are mapped throughout. Through the teaching and learning of each puzzle piece, children may be supported to know and value who they are and understand how they can relate to other people in the world.
All the Jigsaw lessons have been mapped out 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. The Jigsaw curriculum for each year group contributes to all of these values.
Aims of the Personal, Social, Health Education & Sex and Relationships Education
The national curriculum for PSHE aims to ensure that schools teach a broad and balanced curriculum that:
- promotes the spiritual, moral, social, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school;
- prepares pupils at the school of the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life;
- promotes British values.
Jigsaw covers all areas of PSHE for the primary phase including statutory Relationships and Health Education.
Progression of PSHE
There are six Puzzles in Jigsaw that are designed to progress in sequence from September to July. Each year group work on the same Puzzle at the same time, which means that each year children may build on their prior knowledge as they progress through the school. We have created this progression document to show how children's learning progresses from Early Years to Year 6.
