Product Information

This content reflects the most up-to-date guidance around teaching about peer-on-peer abuse and harassment in an age-appropriate way, and we provide clear supporting materials for schools that shows when and how this is taught. The sex education in Jigsaw is progressive and developmental and is naturally built into the Changing Me Puzzle as part of the teaching about how our bodies change in puberty so that we are able to reproduce when we are older. Children develop the skills and confidence in Jigsaw to have respectful discussions around sensitive subjects, and in upper KS2 this includes lessons around topics such as belonging, peer pressure, changing relationships and gangs, which can be built upon in more specific lessons when they reach secondary school.

We fully expect teachers to adapt the materials in the classroom for the pupils in front of them, but by following the programme structure and learning intentions they can be confident that they are providing a broad and balanced curriculum across the The ‘Changing Me’ Puzzle in Jigsaw 3-11 covers puberty and human reproduction in the context of coping positively with change. It does this in a sensitive and age-appropriate way which includes lessons on human reproduction, the coverage of which is at schools’ discretion. Jigsaw aims to empower children to understand their own rights and those of others, and supports the development of global citizenship. The latest guidance recommends that schools needs to teach social and emotional skills. These skills are too important to only be learnt by osmosis, which is why Jigsaw develops them in a structured and developmental way throughout every year group. We also have a mapping document for schools showing the parallels between Jigsaw’s approach and content for Relationships, Health and Sex Education with regard to “Learning to Love” as well as the DfE statutory requirements for Relationships and Health Education in Primary Schools (England 2019). This can be used to help you compare the teaching materials with your school’s local diocese guidance.

This helps class teachers to identify specific areas where the teaching and learning can be adapted to suit the needs of different children, sometimes from an alternative year group’s resources. There are a large number of Jigsaw schools on a 2-year rolling cycle who are able to use the majority of the materials like this with only a handful of lessons needing some adaptation to ensure that the content is fully accessible for all.

The expectations set out in the Curriculum for Excellence for Health and Wellbeing are comprehensively covered through Jigsaw’s spiral curriculum, with mindfulness philosophy and practice woven throughout making Jigsaw is a unique, progressive and effective scheme of work for this area of the curriculum. Jigsaw values teachers’ professional judgement and knowledge of how to best support the pupils in their classrooms. We ensure that our programme has all the content and support that a busy teacher needs to deliver high quality PSHE for all the children in the classroom, whatever the topic or political climate. The practice of mindfulness, where children learn to be in the present moment without judgement, is taught in every Jigsaw lesson in 3 different ways:Rather, Jigsaw makes a significant contribution towards ensuring that the curriculum and the learning environment that children experience lays down a grounding in which the ideological and emotional roots of extremist beliefs, attitudes and behaviours cannot flourish. We know many people take medications to manage symptoms of muscle and joint conditions, and get help with daily activities, but this information isn’t always recorded in medical records. Using an online questionnaire, we will collect these details directly from patients which can help us build a more realistic view of muscle and joint conditions, leading to more effective care. These Weekly Celebration Assemblies can be used as part of the Jigsaw scheme or stand-alone and are available now in the Jigsaw online store. The Jigsaw Pieces (lessons) in the Changing Me Puzzle (unit) aim to give children their entitlement to information about puberty and human reproduction, appropriate to their age and stage of development. It is treated in a matter-of-fact manner to allay embarrassment and fear.
