Rights Respecting School

We were awarded our Gold Rights Respecting Award in June 2025.

Strengths of the school include:

• Very articulate children who demonstrated good knowledge and understanding of rights. They knew a wide range of articles and were confident in the concept of rights. 
• A strong commitment to children's rights and to RRSA from leaders at all levels tied into the vision and values of the school/ Quality training and support for staff has been sustained. 
• Relationships based on mutual respect and trust. learning about rights is clearly affecting relationships in a positive way.
• A school with inclusion at its heart, where pupils feel safe and secure and articulate about the importance of knowing about children's rights, the difference this makes to their lives and their desire and determination to help realise these rights for others. 
• Diversity is explicit throughout the whole curriculum. Pupils can see their own heritage reflected throughout the curriculum in a variety of ways. 
• The schools work on health and wellbeing, in particular the consideration of mental health and emotions was notably string.
• Pupil voice is valued highly, and the range of pupil voice groups gives ample opportunities for all young people to put their suggestions forward and for these to be acted upon.
• Children see themselves as global citizens. Conversations happen linked to news and current events and children are supported to make positive changes.
