We are a Rights Respecting School. This is supported by the principles of the UNCRC (United Convention on the Rights of every Child), adopted and promoted through UNICEF. Children’s rights are at the heart of the school. The aim is that these exist as part of our ethos and culture and as a result will improve well-being and develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential. The following articles from the UNCRC were chosen by our Article 12 Council and form our Whole School Charter.
Article 29
Every child has the right to an education that develops their personality, talents and abilities.
Article 30
Every child has the right to learn and use the language, customs and religion of their family.
Article 31
Every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities.
Article 12
Every child has the right to have a say in all matters affecting them, and to have their views taken seriously.
Article 23
Any child with a disability has the right to have the same opportunities has everybody else.
Article 19
Every child has the right to be safe.
