At Greystones we use the Jigsaw PSHE Scheme.

​

Jigsaw PSHE is a comprehensive Scheme of Work for the whole Primary School from Reception through to Year 6. It brings together Personal, Social and Health Education, emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development in a comprehensive scheme of learning. 

​

Jigsaw offers a comprehensive Programme for Primary PSHE including statutory Relationships and Health Education, in a spiral, progressive and fully planned scheme of work, giving children relevant learning experiences to help them navigate their world and to develop positive relationships with themselves and others. 

​

With strong emphasis on emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health, Jigsaw equips us to deliver engaging and relevant PSHE within a whole-school approach. Jigsaw lessons also include mindfulness, allowing children to advance their emotional awareness, concentration and focus.

​

Jigsaw is a comprehensive and inclusive scheme. We consulted extensively with our parents and school community regarding the scheme, before it was implemented.

​

Within PSHE sits RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health Education). 

​

Parents at all primary schools have the right to withdraw their child from lessons that teach sex education, which does not start until the children are in Year 4. All children in primary schools in England, including Greystones, learn about how girls and boys bodies will change during puberty. This is a statutory part of the curriculum for all pupils. Sex Education (conception and intercourse) is not a statutory part of the curriculum in primary and as such, parents may request their children do not attend these lessons. 

 

Before any parent does this we strongly recommend that you come in to school to view the materials and discuss the approach that we use. All parents in Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 are invited into school to review the materials we teach before the non-statutory parts of the Jigsaw programme are  covered during the Summer Term. 

​

The school carried out an extensive consultation with parents about the content of our RSHE curriculum in 2021.
