PSHE

At Whitehill Primary School we have decided to follow the JIGSAW approach to teaching PSHE, which includes everything needed for us to cover the PSHE Curriculum. Whitehill is an incredibly diverse community with relative deprivation. We have children from families where social and emotional support is hugely variable.

JIGSAW aims to provide pupils with the knowledge, understanding, attitudes, values and skills they need in order to reach their potential as individuals and within the community. Pupils are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities and experiences across and beyond the curriculum, contributing fully to the life of their school and communities. In doing so they learn to recognise their own worth, work well with others and become increasingly responsible for their own learning. They reflect on their experiences and understand how they are developing personally and socially, tackling many of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up.

They learn to understand and respect our common humanity; diversity and differences so that they can go on to form the effective, fulfilling relationships that are an essential part of life and learning.
