PSHE

How does Ashwicken Church of England Primary School develop healthy children?

Teaching PSHE using a scheme called Jigsaw

Using Jigsaw enables our school to cover topics that help to promote healthy living by delivering high quality learning in areas such as:

Relationships and sex education
Drug and alcohol education
The development of healthy lifestyles including information about keeping physically active and eating healthily
Safeguarding issues such as anti-bullying and e-safety
Well being
