Welcome to the PSHE & Jigsaw Page!

PSHE is taught at SMSJ using a scheme of work called Jigsaw. It brings together PSHE, emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development in a comprehensive scheme of learning. It is designed so that all year groups will be learning about the same puzzle piece at any given time. There are 6 puzzle pieces for the children to complete (please see overview below). Jigsaw links very closely with our collective worship values and also the British values (please see attached British values sheet below). If you would like to know more about PSHE and the Jigsaw scheme, the following website is very useful or further information can be obtained by contacting the school.
