Rights Respecting Schools Award
We are committed to ensuring that children's rights are understood, respected and embedded throughout our school community. We are proud to have achieved the UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools Award Bronze: Rights Committed, recognising our dedication to placing children's rights at the heart of our ethos and practice.
The Rights Respecting Schools Award supports schools to develop a culture where children's rights are learned, taught, practised, respected, protected and promoted. Through this work, students develop a greater understanding of themselves, their responsibilities and the world around them.
Achieving Bronze acknowledges the important foundations we have established as a school. We are now working towards the Silver: Rights Aware Award, which focuses on embedding children's rights more deeply across school life and ensuring that all members of our community understand and champion these rights.
As part of our journey, we are continuing to:
- Promote respect, dignity and inclusion for all.
- Develop student voice and meaningful participation in decision-making.
- Help young people understand their rights and responsibilities.
- Foster positive relationships built on trust, fairness and mutual respect.
- Celebrate diversity and prepare students to be active citizens in modern Britain.
Our work towards becoming a Rights Respecting School aligns closely with our vision of Belonging, Becoming, Beyond, ensuring that every young person feels valued, empowered and supported to achieve their potential.
Having successfully achieved the Bronze: Rights Committed Award, we are now working towards the Silver: Rights Aware Award. We look forward to continuing this journey with our students, families and wider community as we strengthen a culture where the rights of every child are recognised, respected and realised.
