    What do teachers and children say about Jigsaw?

    Thinking Why Jigsaw?

    Here is what our Jigsaw Community has said:

    • "Jigsaw PSHE has improved relationships in the school. Children take care of each other and understand that everyone is unique and special. They take great pride in resolving their own conflicts and are keep to support and understand their classmates. It has also helped them to think about and further develop emotional resilience."

      Subject Teacher, Oxfordshire

    • "In Early Years, the children always run off to get Jigsaw ‘Jenie’ from the book corner to start the sessions. A particular favourite of both the children and the staff is Calm Me, especially the Jigsaw Chime bar. We also like to end our Jigsaw lessons with the chime as a moment of quiet reflection. If we ever forget it at the end of the session, the children always eagerly remind us!"

      Headteacher, Netherlands

    • The children have been enjoying their Jigsaw PSHE lessons and using the Jigsaw Friend, Jenie, in all areas of their EYFS learning. The activities used throughout Jigsaw can permeate the whole curriculum and support every area of learning.
