Jigsaw RE is a NEW comprehensive Religious Education scheme of learning for ages 3-12.

Written by RE specialist teachers in the Jigsaw team and trialled by 100 schools, the weekly lesson plans include all the resources required to deliver RE. An integral assessment process and accompanying assemblies make Jigsaw RE the first of its kind, and the vehicle to transform statutory RE in the primary school.

It adopts an enquiry-based worldview approach to teaching and learning with much flexibility and choice of when to include which religion/worldview.

"A thorough and engaging approach to teaching this topic. As RE lead I particularly enjoyed how the scheme was focussed on activities and discussion. This made the religious element more relatable to the children."

What is an enquiry?

In Jigsaw RE, an enquiry is a unit of work based on a Big Enquiry Question e.g. What is good about Good Friday for Christians?

Each enquiry consists of 6 lesson plans. Each lesson, in the format of an easy-to-use slideshow with teacher notes, has all the resources needed to deliver it, plus assessment activity sheets, descriptors and exemplification.
