PSHE & RSE at Olton Primary School - Kapow and Jigsaw. 

PSHE is at the core of what we do and enables our children to become independent, confident, healthy and responsible members of society. Through our whole-school approach to PSHE, it is our belief that excellence in these areas will lead to excellence across the curriculum and beyond in later life.

At Olton Primary School, we are confident that the Kapow Primary Scheme and Jigsaw Scheme fulfils the statutory requirements set out by the Department of Education. It also fulfils the National Curriculum requirement to teach PSHE. In addition, we are confident that the Jigsaw Scheme fulfils the statutory requirements for Relationships and Health Education for our EYFS unit and fulfils the Relationships Education, Sex Education and Health Education (RSHE) for years 1-6 in an age-appropriate way.

Implementation

To ensure a depth of learning which builds upon prior learning, all classes undertake weekly PSHE lessons which follow the progressive Kapow or Jigsaw scheme.

For EYFS, there are six Puzzles in Jigsaw that are designed to progress in sequence from Autumn to June/July.
Each Puzzle has six pieces (lessons) which work towards an ‘end product’. Each piece (lesson) has two Learning Intentions: one is based on specific PSHE learning and one is based on emotional literacy and social skills development to enhance children’s emotional and mental health. The enhancements mean that Jigsaw, the mindful approach to PSHE, is relevant to children living in today’s world as it helps them be equipped to support their growth. 
These six puzzles are:

• Autumn 1 - Being Me in My World
• Autumn 2 - Celebrating Difference
• Spring 1 - Changing Me / Managing Self (including Relationships, Sex and Health Education)
• Spring 2 – Dreams and Goals
• Summer 1- Healthy Me         
• Summer 2 – Relationships

For Y1-6, the Kapow Primary Scheme of work has been designed as a spiral curriculum with the following key principles in mind:

• Cyclical: pupils revisit the 5 areas throughout KS1 and KS2.
• Increasing depth: each time a key area is revisited, it is covered with greater depth and increasing maturity
• Prior knowledge: Upon returning to each key area, prior knowledge is utilised so children can build on previous foundations, rather than starting again.

These lessons can be found in the knowledge organisers below.

We supplement the programme with additional initiatives that will benefit both the pupils and the wider school community such as Anti-Bullying, Mental Health Awareness, the NSPCC Pants Campaign, Greener Schools.
