The Jigsaw PSHE approach is followed, which integrates mindfulness into lessons, supporting emotional regulation and concentration. Each lesson covers key themes such as relationships, health, and personal development through engaging activities. A whole-school approach ensures pupils progress through these topics in a structured, cohesive manner, building on previous learning and encouraging reflection.

Impact Statement

By the end of Key Stage 2, pupils will have developed a strong sense of self-esteem, emotional intelligence, and the ability to make informed decisions. The curriculum’s focus on mindfulness and social skills prepares pupils to engage with their peers, manage their emotions, and face future challenges with resilience and confidence, fostering well-rounded individuals ready for the next stage of their education.
