Our Impact in Schools

What 570 teachers told us about Jigsaw in 2025.

Every year we listen carefully to the teachers, PSHE leads, and school leaders using Jigsaw. In July 2025, 570 educators from over 450 schools took part in our annual survey. Their feedback helps us understand the difference Jigsaw is making, for staff, pupils, and whole-school communities, and where we can continue to grow.

The results are clear. Jigsaw is saving teachers time, boosting confidence, improving behaviour, and shaping positive school culture.

Impact in Primary Schools

For primary schools, Jigsaw creates consistency and confidence. Teachers highlight how the spiral curriculum helps children connect learning across year groups, while “Calm Me” mindfulness practices improve behaviour and relationships.

Stronger emotional regulation and wellbeing
Children recall and apply learning year to year
Teachers enjoy teaching PSHE more with Jigsaw
SEND and Pupil Premium students particularly benefit

“We complete annual pupil voice surveys, and these have improved with children noting Jigsaw as favourite lessons, improved wellbeing etc. We have launched Jigsaw for our nursery children this year aged 3-4 and all staff have noticed a difference in the children’s ability to regulate, join in during a small group session and learn about emotions and changes.” (PSHE Lead, Primary)

“Everything is provided for you, meaning the only prep needed is reading the plan and trimming resources. It saves so much time. Structure of lessons is very consistent meaning children know what to expect, how to behave and can focus on the content of the lesson rather than figuring out what task we will be completing.” (RE Lead and Classroom teacher, Primary)

Impact in Secondary Schools

Secondary schools told us they value Jigsaw’s structured approach to sensitive topics like consent, online harm, and wellbeing. Teachers noted increased confidence in delivery and better pupil engagement, though many also recognised that change takes time — with longer-term use linked to stronger results.

Staff confidence grows with support and training
Better engagement where Jigsaw has been used for longer

“Using the same language across years and classes has helped tackle unkindness/bullying.” – PSHE Lead, Secondary
