Our children are growing up in an ever-changing world, and it is our job to equip them with the skills to live healthy, safe and happy lives. The new RSE curriculum puts in place the building blocks of healthy and respectful relationships and friendships, including online and safe relationships.  Mental health, including feelings of loneliness, bullying, prejudice and discrimination will also help and support our children to take care of themselves and know where to turn for support and guidance.

​

It is important for our children to feel unique, to understand and celebrate difference, to challenge stereotypes and to be proud of their personal identity.  They need to be prepared for the next steps in life, and the changes that come with growing up, such as feelings, physical growth, increased independence and how to deal with transition.

​

As a school, we have invested in the Jigsaw scheme and adapted it to meet the needs of all children in our school. Jigsaw holds children at its heart, and its cohesive vision helps children understand and value how they fit into and contribute to the world. With strong emphasis on emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health, Jigsaw 3-11 properly equips schools to deliver engaging and relevant PSHE within a whole-school approach. Jigsaw lessons also include mindfulness allowing children to advance their emotional awareness, concentration, focus and self-regulation.
