Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE)

An important part of the Jigsaw PSHE programme is delivered through the 'Relationships' and 'Changing Me' puzzle pieces which are covered in the summer term.

There are four main aims of teaching RSHE:

To enable children to understand and respect their bodies and be able to cope with the changes puberty brings
To help children develop positive and healthy relationships, appropriate to their age and development
To support children to have positive self-esteem and body image
To empower them to be safe and safeguarded.
To provide a framework in which sensitive discussions can take place

Each year group will be taught appropriate to their age and developmental stage.

A presentation for Parents/Carers was held in March 2021 to consult with parents regarding the changes as per the DfE Guidance 2020 (attached below).

Below is a summary of RSHE coverage within the Jigsaw scheme for each year group:
