What is Jigsaw Designed as a whole school

What is Jigsaw? • Designed as a whole school approach, Jigsaw provides a comprehensive scheme of learning for Foundation Stage to Year 6. • Jigsaw PSHE brings together Personal, Social, Health and Economic education, emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development in a lesson-a-week programme. • Jigsaw holds children at its heart and its vision is to help children understand value who they are and how they fit and contribute to the world.

Why ‘Jigsaw’? • The idea behind Jigsaw is that the whole school as seen as whole (a complete jigsaw!) We are all pieces of that Jigsaw and together we are as one. • Every class has a different Jigsaw character and together they make up the Jigsaw team. • Each term there is a new ‘puzzle’ and every lesson within that puzzle is a different piece of the jigsaw.
