PSHE
(personal development, social skills and health education for children and young people aged 3 years to 16 years)
we believe that PSHE is the foundation for learning and development in all children.
In Fordbridge we use Jigsaw.
What is Jigsaw?
Jigsaw is a complete set of lesson plans for schools, one for each week, covering personal development, social skills and health education for children and young people aged 3 years to 16 years.
Our aim is to equip children to understand who they are, to be healthy and happy and good, caring people.
There is a strong emphasis on emotional wellbeing and mental health.
