Rights Respecting School
We are a BRONZE Rights Respecting School and our vision is to become a school where we:
- Teach and Learn about Rights
Children, staff and the wider school community will know about and understand the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and will be able to describe how it impacts on their lives and on the lives of children everywhere. - Teaching and Learning through Rights (Ethos & Relationships)
In school, children will enjoy the rights enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. This includes relationships that are positive and founded on dignity and mutual respect. Children are safe and protected and know what to do if they need support. Their social and emotional wellbeing is a priority and they learn to develop healthy lifestyles. They are included and are valued as individuals. They value education and are involved in making decisions about their learning. - Teaching and Learning for Rights (Participation, Empowerment & Action)
Children will know that their views are taken seriously and they take action to claim their rights and promote the rights of others, locally and globally.
Our 2025-2026 Pupil Parliament will also take on the role as Rights Respecting Ambassadors and will lead a steering community focusing on the journey to Silver and beginning to embed knowledge and understanding of the rights across the school. This committee will welcome staff, governor and parent/carer members.
We will follow the ABCDEs of Rights:
- A: Rights are for ALL Children
- B: Rights are their at BIRTH
- C: Rights CANNOT be taken away
- D: Rights DO NOT have to be earned
- E: All rights are EQUALLY important
