Where Jigsaw truly comes to life

Where Jigsaw truly comes to life

Our Flagship Schools are more than experienced users of the Jigsaw approach, they are the living, breathing examples of what’s possible when Jigsaw PSHE and RE are embedded as intended; with care, confidence and consistency.

These are schools where Jigsaw isn’t just taught, it’s lived. Where staff speak a shared language, and where children feel safe, seen and supported.

What is a Jigsaw Flagship School?

A Flagship School is a Primary setting that has fully embedded Jigsaw across its curriculum, school life and ethos. These schools demonstrate how Jigsaw can:

  • Drive a consistent, whole-school approach to wellbeing and values
  • Equip staff with the tools and confidence to teach sensitive topics
  • Help children develop emotional literacy, resilience and positive relationships
  • Strengthen a school’s inclusive culture from the inside out

These schools act as exemplars, not because they are perfect, but because they are committed. Committed to children, to staff, and to creating learning environments that truly support the whole child.

And the best part? They’re not just flying the flag for Jigsaw, they are here to help other schools find their way too.

Sharing practice. Supporting others.

Flagship Schools play an important role in our community. They open their doors, share their insights, and model best-practice for other schools, whether just starting out with Jigsaw, or looking to deepen their impact.

Ways Flagship Schools support others include:

  • Hosting school visits and walkthroughs
  • Offering peer-to-peer conversations for PSHE/RE Leads
  • Sharing strategies, successes and examples of whole-school implementation
  • Contributing to training sessions and webinars
  • Featuring in case studies and collaborative projects

If you are exploring how Jigsaw might work in your setting, a visit to a Flagship School can be the most powerful insight you’ll get.
