Robert Piggott Subject Overview: Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) including Relationships, Sex Education (RSE)
We follow the National Curriculum outcomes for our Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) and Relationships and Sex Education (RSE). We use the Jigsaw PSHE framework to support our teaching of PSHE and RSE which covers each of the learning outcomes through six thematic blocks.

Implementation Our pedological approach to teaching this subject in the Robert Piggott CE Schools:
Our PSHE and RSE curriculum has a strong emphasis in developing our pupil's emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health. The Jigsaw scheme supports us in the delivery of engaging and relevant lessons within a whole-school approach.
The Jigsaw Scheme covers the learning outcomes through six topics; these are known as Puzzles. Each Puzzle then has 6 comprehensive lessons which are known as Pieces. These are delivered through a variety of teaching strategies including specific lessons, circle time and specific school projects which allow children to work together under different circumstances.
Relationship Education and Health Education are statutory subjects which parents are not allowed to withdraw their child from. Sex Education is not compulsory in Primary Schools however we incorporate this into our PSHE and RSE curriculum tailoring our delivery of this to the age and emotional and physical maturity of our pupils. Parents may, if they wish, request that their child is withdrawn from Sex Education lessons.
