PSHE New
PSHE
Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education is an important and necessary part of all pupils’ education.
Relationships and sex education
Relationships and sex education is an important part of the PSHE education. Relationships education is compulsory for all primary school pupils and relationships and sex education is compulsory for all secondary school pupils.
At Manland we have introduced a whole school PSHE scheme called Jigsaw, to support the teaching of PSHE. It brings together a wide range of PSHE education, including emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development. 
Jigsaw is designed as a whole school approach, with all year groups working on the same theme (or puzzle) at the same time. Each puzzle starts with an introductory assembly, generating a whole school focus for adults and children alike. Each year group is taught at least one lesson per week and all lessons are delivered in an age appropriate way so that they meet children’s needs.
There are weekly assembly opportunities that highlight a theme from that week’s lessons across the school, and encourages children to reflect that learning in their behaviour and attitudes. Jigsaw aims to help children know and value who they really are and think about how they relate to other people in our ever-changing world.
Our PSHE curriculum is enriched in many ways, such as when we follow and support national innovatives such as , Anti-Bullying week and Jeans for Genes.
