Rights Respecting School

WHAT IS A RIGHTS RESPECTING SCHOOL?

The UNICEF UK Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) is based on principles of equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination and participation. The RRSA seeks to put the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child at the heart of a school’s ethos and culture to improve well-being and develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential.

A rights respecting school is a community where children’s rights are learned, taught, practised, respected, protected and promoted. Young people and the school community learn about children’s rights by putting them into practice every day. We do this through assemblies, themed days, special events and our everyday learning.

We have a group of children from each year group who are our rights respecting champions. Their role is to help to promote children's rights across the school.

We currently hold the bronze award and we are working towards the silver level.
