At Tillington Manor, we aim for our children to become successful learners, responsible pupils and confident individuals.

Health and Well-being – healthy lifestyles and making informed choices, maintaining physical, mental and emotional health and well-being, keeping physically and emotionally safe and ways of managing change, transition and loss.
What is Jigsaw PSHE? How do we implement Jigsaw PSHE?
At Tillington Manor Primary School we have adpoted a programme called Jigsaw. Jigsaw is a PSHE Scheme of Work that provides a mindful whole school approach to personal, social ansd health education. It is a comprehensive and completely original Scheme of Work for the whole Primary School from Years EYFS through to Year 6.
Every Jigsaw lesson offers opportunities for children's spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development, and this is clearly mapped and balanced across each year group.
Jigsaw is designed as a whole school approach, with all year groups working on the same theme (Puzzle) at the same time. There are six Puzzles in Jigsaw that are designed to progress in sequence from September to July. Each Puzzle has six Pieces (lessons) which work towards an ‘end product’.

At Tillington Manor Primary School we believe that PSHE plays a vital part in primary education and needs to be taught at least weekly. This enables staff to ensure full coverage of PSHE is taught in their year group. There are always occasions where teachers may feel it necessary to teach PSHE as a result of an issue arisen in their own class which needs addressing.
At Tillington Manor Primary School we prepare children for life in modern Britain by teaching pupils about British Values through PSHE sessions and other curriculum areas.
Jigsaw brings together PSHE Education, emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development in a comprehensive scheme of learning. This means that Jigsaw is relevant to children living in today’s world as it helps them understand and be equipped to cope with issues like body image, cyber and homophobic bullying, and internet safety.
