Partnerships

The Jigsaw Education Group is proud of the work we do for schools, teachers, partners and above all children and young people.

Our work is solving issues for educators to allow them to spend more time with their pupils.

To help us achieve this, Jigsaw carefully chooses our partners through a selective process, to ensure that teachers, children and young people are consistently benefiting.

Below is a selection of some of Our Partners, each unique and together with Jigsaw, is nurturing the adults of tomorrow.

Jigsaw and the British Council

Jigsaw Education Group is proud to work in partnership with schools around the world. As part of the British Council’s ongoing Connecting Classrooms through Global Learning programme, we have three clusters of schools working on projects which partner schools in the UK with colleagues in Nepal, Lebanon and Egypt.

As well as providing some excellent free resources on Global Citizenship, Connecting Classrooms partners UK schools with settings abroad, allowing students and teachers to work together on different global issues, sharing experiences and ideas. The projects can be started at any time and schools are actively encouraged to find a partner school to share their good practice.

The COVID-19 pandemic has given an unexpected commonality to the projects and led to Jigsaw being consulted on the writing of the British Council’s Global Learning resource, “Mental Health and Well-being”, a set of activities for young people aged 7-14 years. These resources are available for free on the British Council’s Connecting Classrooms website.

Jigsaw and NCFE

Jigsaw is delighted to work with NCFE to offer the opportunity to both students and schools to gain recognition for their RSHE/PSHE work.

The full assessment process in Jigsaw with attainment descriptors for each unit of work and a summative assessment ‘workbook’ in lesson 6 of each Puzzle (unit) enable the straightforward monitoring and recording of learning and progress and the workbooks evidence all the Learning Outcomes and Portfolio Requirements for the NCFE RSHE Awards.

Jigsaw PSHE, 11-16, is endorsed by the NCFE (National Awarding Organisation) as the teaching programme aligned to and supporting the delivery of learning that meets all the requirements for the Levels 1 and 2 Awards for RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health Education).

Jigsaw and Boys In Mind

Boys in Mind are a multi-agency alliance of professionals and young people who work with primary and secondary school staff to help them understand the issues around male suicide and mental health.

They develop films, assembly ideas and lesson activities that educational staff can use. These resources are co-produced by young people, mainly boys and young men.

Their vision is to empower children and young people, particularly boys and young men, to talk about their emotions and express their vulnerability in a safe and healthy manner.
