PSHE and RSE
PSHE and RSE at Castle Hill
At Castle Hill primary school, we aim to deliver a high-quality PSHE and RSE curriculum that enables children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society. We want our children to be able to know and value who they truly are and understand how they relate to each other and where they stand in this ever-changing world.
At Castle Hill we base our PSHE lessons around a scheme of work called 'Jigsaw.'
Jigsaw is a whole-school approach and embodies a positive philosophy and creative teaching and learning activities to nurture children’s development as compassionate and well-rounded human beings as well as building their capacity to learn.
Jigsaw has two main aims for all children:
• To build their capacity for learning
• To equip them for life
Jigsaw brings together PSHE Education, compulsory Relationships and Health Education, emotional literacy, mindfulness, social skills and spiritual development. It is designed as a whole school approach, with all year groups working on the same theme (Puzzle) at the same time at their own level. There are six Puzzles (half-term units of work) and each year group is taught one lesson per week. All lessons are delivered in an age- and stage-appropriate way so that they meet children’s needs.
