Rights Respecting Schools Award

We are currently working towards achieving Silver of the Rights Respecting Schools Award. If you would like any more information please contact the school.

The Rights Respecting Schools Award puts children’s rights at the heart of school life in the UK.

We are working with the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) to create safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive. Rights Respecting Schools Award embeds these values in daily school life and gives children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.

Together young people and the school community learn about children’s rights, putting them into practice every day. The Award is not just about what children do but also, importantly, what adults do. In Rights Respecting Schools children’s rights are promoted and realised, adults and children work towards this goal together.

There are four key areas of impact for children at a Rights Respecting school; wellbeing, participation, relationships and self-esteem.

The difference that a Rights Respecting School makes goes beyond the school gates, making a positive impact on the whole community.

  • Children are healthier and happier
  • Children feel safe
  • Children have better relationships
  • Children become active and involved in school life and the wider world
