Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) is an important part of education at St David’s School. To ensure clear progression and a spiral curriculum, we use Jigsaw, a whole‑school PSHE programme aligned with the PSHE Association Programmes of Study. The programme provides a consistent, structured scheme of work which we tailor to the needs of our pupils.
PSHE is taught for 45 minutes to one hour each week, with lessons delivered in an age‑appropriate and developmental way.
Jigsaw covers all areas of PSHE for the primary phase, including statutory Relationships and Health Education (further details can be found in our Relationships, Health and Sex Education Policy). Learning is organised into six termly units, known as Puzzles, which are revisited each year to deepen and extend understanding:
| Term | Puzzle (Unit) |
|---|---|
| Autumn 1 | Being Me in My World |
| Autumn 2 | Celebrating Difference |
| Spring 1 | Dreams and Goals |
| Spring 2 | Healthy Me |
| Summer 1 | Relationships |
| Summer 2 | Changing Me |
PSHE learning is reinforced across school life through assemblies, our behaviour and rewards systems, and our shared values, known as the St David’s SPARK. We encourage pupils to apply their learning in their everyday relationships and experiences within the school community.
