Throughout their time at James Dixon, every child is taught the skills and vocabulary they need in order to be emotionally intelligent individuals.

From our Preschool to Year Six, we follow Jigsaw which is a programme designed to help our pupils navigate an increasingly complex world and to develop healthy relationships.

To complement the Jigsaw programme, the teaching team at James Dixon create bespoke whole school assemblies designed to help children to self-regulate, understand the origins of their emotions and provide them with a wealth of expressive language.
