(Parent Quote 2019) All pupils at Jigsaw are initially assessed across the following repertoires: Communication This is based on a verbal behaviour model and focuses on listening skills such as following vocal directions and speaking skills such as asking for items, labelling and responding to questions. Pupils can work through the same targets with sign or pictures to aid their communication skills. Academic Literacy This category includes all academic skills linked to an Early Years and Key Stage 1 curriculum eg. maths, reading and writing, sorting items into categories and learning about opposites. Community of Reinforcers This involves expanding each pupil’s interests and preferences, eg. playing with toys independently and choosing to look at books during free time. Self-management This category focuses on skills that a pupil needs to be independent in school, such as toileting, eating and dressing independently and following the classroom rules. It also focuses on social skills such as playing alongside others, turn-taking and sharing. Physical Development This includes the fine motor skills that are important for school, such as holding and using scissors, and also gross motor skills, such as throwing a ball and jumping. An individualized curriculum is then formulated to best respond to each child’s needs and goals. SMSC and British Values (SMSC stands for ‘Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural’ development) Jigsaw is committed to working closely and in harmony with its community and celebrating the diversity of the United Kingdom. We aim to prepare our pupils for life in modern Britain and to ensure that our school ethos, curriculum and approaches to teaching and learning reflect and promote fundamental British values. We recognise that these values are not unique to Britain alone and that they have come to be accepted throughout the democratic world as a method of creating an orderly society, in which individual members can feel safe, valued and can contribute to for the good of themselves and others. We work alongside our local community and recognise the variety of religious beliefs within it. We take pupils outside the school to take part in local events and meet different members of the community to appreciate the valuable contributions they make. We take opportunities to: ♦ acknowledge, celebrate and commemorate national events and anniversaries related to key events in Britain’s past. ♦ join in with national and international sporting events and find out more about the countries that host them ♦ support a number of charities that are selected by pupils by organising fundraising events ♦ invite members of the local community to our school events We understand the role our school has in helping prevent radicalisation and extremism and supporting our pupils to become life-long learners. DEMOCRACYRULE OF LAWINDIVIDUAL LIBERTYMUTUAL RESPECT & TOLERANCE Statement: Many of our school routines are built upon the concept of democracy. Pupils are regularly consulted both formally and informally about how their school might be improved. They see the example that is set with staff working cooperatively & collaboratively with each other to make the school the best it can be. In Practice: Pupils learn about democratic processes through involvement in the School Council, mock elections, lessons on British parliamentary system, choosing class and school reinforcers and activities, voting for their nominated charity of the year. Pupils work collaboratively to draw up school and class rules. To view some of the activities supporting the SMSC and British Values curriculum, please click the tabs below. ACADEMIC YEAR 2019-20ACADEMIC YEAR 2018-19 Sports Relief 2020 Pupils and staff participated in a range of activities to raise money for Sports Relief including sponsored aerobics and dance classes, obstacle courses and a hula-hoop competition. Pupils could purchase official Sports Relief wrist bands and completed activities within their own classes linked to various games and sports. Rocksteady Music Workshops Pupils had the opportunity to play instruments including electric keyboards, guitars, base and drums as part of music workshops run by the Rocksteady Foundation. The workshops provided excellent opportunities for pupils to show case their musical talents and promoted the development of social skills. Pupils learned to take turns on the instruments, respect the choices of others and encourage each other to try new experiences. Interactions with the Rocksteady musicians promoted generalisation of communication skills and following directions from unfamiliar people. Sensory Pantomime Jigsaw welcomed back Head2Head Theatre for a sensory and interactive pantomime. To allow all pupils to participate and engage, short performances with props and costumes took place in classes in the morning and then in the afternoon the full pantomime production was performed in the PE hall for all pupils. The production was a good opportunity for pupils to take part in an activity as a large group, take turns, interact socially and learn about story-telling and drama. Pupils enjoyed trying on and wearing different costumes and joining in with the singing and dancing. Anti-bullying Week Between the 11th and 15th of November Jigsaw took part in Anti-bullying week. The focus was on kindness and working collaboratively and cooperatively. Each day there were different activities planned to promote positive relationships in school and also pupils’ confidence. The activities included: Kindness Chain, each class creating their own kindness chain where links were added to the chain when pupils demonstrated an act of kindness; Calendar Challenge, filling each day with act of kindness and PE games where pupils needed to work cooperatively. Additional activities were also organized throughout the week including: Monday: The students learnt about bullying, its causes and potential solutions. Tuesday: Odd socks day!! Students and teacher came wearing odd socks. They also created their own odd sock designs. Wednesday: Pupils discussed how to be good friends to each other and they were all given a secret friend. Thursday: We stand against bullying! Pupils decorated their own superhero anti bullying masks and they made collages in each class expressing their ideas of how to stand against bullying. Friday: Time to congratulate. Pupils were presented with certificates for being kind during the week. NEWSLETTER CALENDAR DONATE ONLINE SCHOOL PROSPECTUS GOT A QUESTION? We're here to help.
