Relationships and Sex Education (RSE)
.At Axbridge, we use JIGSAW in our delivery of our RSE and PSHE curriculum. We consulted with all stakeholders to ensure everybody was aware of the schools statutory responsibiltiies and the nature of the curriculum content. The school has tailored the provision and ensured the children were able to develop an understanding over several years. We are happy to share planning, material and content with families and these can be accessed by way of request to the class teacher or head teacher.
Please log on to the JIGSAW website below, to discover more about the content being delivered through our JIGSAW scheme of work.

Jigsaw, the mindful approach to PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) is a teaching programme written by teachers for teachers that has children’s wellbeing and learning at its heart.
The lesson plans are age-appropriate and cover all the requirements of the relevant guidance in this area in England, Scotland and Wales, and for primary schools in Northern Ireland, and much of the content for post-primary schools. This carefully includes work to help safeguard children, for example ensuring they know how to keep themselves safe and how to ask for help if needed.
Schools, of course, are encouraged to adapt and tailor the lessons to meet their pupils’ needs.
Jigsaw also supports schools to engage with parents and carers. Jigsaw offers to work with schools to run parent information sessions which enable open discussion on the whole programme and statutory requirements and provides free parent briefing leaflets making its approach transparent, and emphasising its belief that the parent-school partnership is in children’s best interest.
Jigsaw is happy for you as parents and carers to see all the materials the school will use in its lessons but stipulates that this needs to be done in the school so a teacher can explain the rationale and the progression in learning and most importantly how the particular school intends to use and differentiate the generic Jigsaw Programme to suit the needs of the pupils in your school. They will have decided this after parent consultation.
By sharing all the materials within the school environment you can have all your questions answered and be clear about the teaching of Jigsaw in your child’s school and how it fits into any other guidance for PSHE, for example if the school is a special school or a church school.
