UNICEF’s Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA).

We are delighted to have received the Silver ‘Rights Aware’ award in July 2018.  Find out more from our report here.

What is the RRSA?  It is a Unicef UK programme that aims to put children’s rights at the heart of schools in the UK. The Award recognises a school’s achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) into practice within the school and beyond. Children have the right to participate, so meaningful involvement of children and young people is fundamental to every stage of your RRSA journey. 
Please have a look at this short YouTube video about the impact of the award in schools and Unicef’s summary of the rights of the child.

Rights are referred to in assemblies and as part of the curriculum through PSHE. This commitment links with the work of the School Council, the Green Team and the E-Team, with our School Vision and Values and our Golden Rules to encourage children to reflect on their actions and think about the part they play in the life of our school community and beyond
