EYFS – Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED)

PSED is vital in the Foundation Stage. Through everyday learning, we support the children in making strong relationships with their peers and familiar adults and encourage them to become confident and independent young people. At all times, adults support and model appropriate behaviour to promote positive relationships within the classroom; this is reinforced during circle times and small group activities. The children are encouraged to recognise and celebrate personal achievements, however small, and those of their peers. Children also have weekly Jigsaw sessions. Jigsaw brings together PSHE Education, compulsory Relationships and Health Education, emotional literacy, mindfulness, social skills and spiritual development. There are six Puzzles (half-term units of work) and all lessons are delivered in an age- and stage-appropriate way so that they meet children’s needs.
