Article 1: Everyone under the age of 18 has all the rights in the Convention.

Article 2: The Convention applies to everyone: whatever their race, religion or abilities, whatever they think or say, whatever type of family they come from.

Article 3: The best interests of the child must be a top priority in all things that affect children.

The term ‘Rights Respecting School’ is given to schools that put the work of UNICEF at the heart of their educational policies and practices. Every child has rights and along with those rights come responsibilities. The adults and children in our school model rights and respect in all relationships. We aim to make children aware of their rights and to be respectful of the rights of adults and other children.

In January 2017, we received the Level One Rights Respecting School Award and in April 2019 we achieved the Gold award.  If any parents, grandparents or carers would like to continue to support us in embedding children’s rights within our school community, please speak to Mrs Siddall or Miss Diggle to find out how you can become involved.
