At Burleigh, we teach PSHE as a whole-school approach to underpin our children’s development as well-rounded individuals who have the skills and resilience to manage the world around them in order to excel and achieve socially, emotionally, academically and economically. We know that in order for children to be successful with their learning, they at first need to feel safe and secure emotionally and feel a sense of belonging with their environment, peers and adults.

The 'JigSaw' scheme of work provides a comprehensive, carefully planned curriculum which brings consistency to the approach and progression of skills and knowledge to our children’s learning in this vital curriculum area. We value PSHE as one way to support children’s development as human beings, to enable them to understand and respect who they are, to empower them with a voice and to equip them for life and learning.
