Here, at Avondale School, 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.

We include the statutory Relationships and Health Education within our whole-school PSHE Programme.

​

To ensure progression and a spiral curriculum, we use Jigsaw, the mindful approach to PSHE, as our chosen teaching and learning programme and tailor it to your children’s needs. The mapping document: Jigsaw 3-11 and statutory Relationships and Health Education, shows exactly how Jigsaw and therefore our school, meets the statutory Relationships and Health Education requirements.

Within Health Education, lessons around puberty and the changing adolescent body take place. If you are interested in buying a book to support your child's learning around this, then there are a number of books on the market that can support you. Please ensure any books you decide to buy are age-appropriate and suitable for your child's needs.
