UNICEF Gold Rights Respecting Award reaccreditation

We are delighted to announce our reaccreditation of the Gold UNICEF Rights Respecting Award. We are really proud of the staff, children and parents who all contributed to the reaccreditation process. Thank to the whole school community for your support and special mention to Ms Butler who co-ordinated our reaccreditation supported by Ms Boyall. 

UNICEF is the world's leading organisation working for children and their rights. The Rights Respecting Schools Award is granted to schools that show commitment to promoting and realising children's rights and encouraging adults, children and young people to respect the rights of others in school. Gold is the highest accolade given by UNICEF UK and shows a deep and thorough commitment to children's rights at all levels of school life. There are over 600 schools across England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales that have received Gold. 

"The Award recognises achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child at the heart of a school's planning, policies and practice. A Rights Respecting School is a community where children's rights are learned, taught, practised, respected, protected and promoted." UNICEF UK Rights Respecting Schools Programme Director, Martin Russell.
