PSHE and RSHE

At Reed First School we use the Jigsaw PSHE and RSHE programme which connects the pieces of Personal, Social and Health Education, emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development into a lesson-a-week

Our intent is to improve their capacity to learn, their resilience and emotional well-being and mental health and thereby enhance their life-chances.

Designed as a whole-school approach, Jigsaw provides a detailed and comprehensive scheme of learning for all of our children.

Jigsaw is a unique, spiral, progressive and effective scheme of work, aiming to prepare children for life, helping them really know and value who they truly are and understand how they relate to other people in this ever-changing world.

The children love spending time with their jigsaw friends and Jerry Cat starting each session with some mindful time using our calm me chimes.

As the teaching and learning is specific to each year group, the children are taught in their year group with a designated trusted adult, rather than in their mixed age classes.

Our Jigsaw themes and lessons, are closely planned to align with our assemblies.  Together with our school values of Aspiration, Independence,  Respect and Resilience, we ensure all children are equipped with the knowledge and understanding they need to navigate their lives and the world around them in a supportive and open way.

Further details of what we teach and how can be found below, along with copies of our parent overviews to support the children at home as well as school as part of our partnership with parents and carers.

 

       

As a school in partnership with the NSPCC, we teach our children to speak out, stay safe!
