Welcome to PSHE/RSE at Ludlow Primary School.
We are now a Jigsaw flagship school 2 years running!
At Ludlow Primary School, we teach Personal, Social, Health and relationships Education as a whole-school approach to underpin children’s development as people and because we believe that this also supports their learning capacity.
The Jigsaw Programme offers us a comprehensive, carefully thought-through
Scheme of Work which brings consistency and progression to our children’s
learning in this vital curriculum area.
What do we teach when and who teaches it?
Jigsaw is a whole school approach that covers all areas of PSHE for the primary phase including statutory Relationships and Health Education. The table below gives the learning theme of each of the six Puzzles (units) and these are taught across the school; the learning deepens and broadens every year as children progress through the school.

3. Praise and reward system
4. Learning Charter (lesson rules and responsibilities)

We aim to ‘live’ what is learnt and apply it to everyday situations in the school community.
