We are proud to share that we have been accredited as Silver: Rights Aware from the UNICEF!
The Silver Accreditation Report is available to read below:
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. Silver is given to schools that make excellent progress towards embedding the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into its ethos and curriculum. 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.
“The development work towards our achievement of our Silver RRS Award has impacted extremely positively on the whole school community. Our learners are aware of their rights as a child and our parents/carers and school staff have an increased knowledge and understanding of children’s rights. Our learning activities are now linked to the Rights of the Child across the school. The positive learning environment within the school has been strengthened by our Rights Respecting Schools work and children have an increased opportunity to lead changes to improve the school.” Mrs Imrie
