At St Cross Catholic Primary School, we are proud to teach Jigsaw PSHE. Jigsaw is a mindful and child-centred approach to PSHE. It is an original and comprehensive scheme of learning which integrates personal, social, health and economic education with emphasis on emotional literacy, mental health and SMSC, especially spiritual development.

Jigsaw aims to help children know and value who they really are and how they relate to other people in this ever-changing world.

We follow the Life to the Full programme to support teaching and learning in this subject.

Life to the Full is a Scheme of Work in Relationships and Health Education (RHE) for Catholic primary schools which embraces and fulfils the statutory curriculum. Taught with a spiral approach to learning, in which pupils will revisit the same topics at an age-appropriate stage through their school life. The entire teaching is underpinned with a religious understanding that our deepest identity is as a child of God – created chosen and loved by God.

Our curriculum is also supported by further E-Safety lessons and elements of the Jigsaw PSHE Scheme of Work.
