Rights Respecting Schools

A Rights Respecting School is a school that puts children's rights at the heart of its ethos and values. It is a school that strives to implement the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) (UNCRC) throughout its community, creating a positive and inclusive environment where children's rights are respected, protected, and promoted. This approach fosters well-being, participation, positive relationships, and self-esteem for all students. 

We have achieved our Bronze Award and are now working towards our Silver.
