Hayley Allen found Jigsaw:

• Significantly reduces teacher workload“With the scheme of work having individual lesson plans, resources and built in assessment opportunities, this significantly reduces planning time and resourcing. The slides are helpful and also editable for teachers to adapt and personalise to their own school's needs.”
• Significantly improves teacher knowledge“Both for the subject leader and also staff who are teaching PSHE and RE, there are opportunities for training on the portal. The key documents are invaluable for staff to have a greater understanding of key areas such as RSHE, mental health etc. With RE there are really helpful background information sheets to support teachers' subject knowledge.”
• Significantly improves behaviour or wellbeing“Our school have recently been inspected as part of the Inclusion Quality Mark award which stated that 'the school is right to take great pride in the children's spiritual, moral, cultural, personal, social and emotional development.' Jigsaw Education is referenced and it notes that our school's 'personal and character development are exemplary', with Jigsaw being a key strand of this work within our school. The benefits of the 'Calm Me' time cannot be underestimated with the children learning techniques to calm their minds and relax their bodies. This supports the teaching of mindfulness along with the lesson content and Pause Points.”
• Significantly builds student knowledge“Our children from EYFS to Year 6 are able to use the taught key vocabulary from the programme. As Jigsaw has progressive and spiral core programmes with linked assemblies, it means that the each year group builds on learning from the previous years. All the materials are age and stage appropriate and children are able to talk confidently about their learning as they move through the school.”
