Birkhill Primary School aims to be a school where children’s rights are at the heart of our ethos and culture, to improve wellbeing and to develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential.  As part of this plan we are working towards recognition as a ‘Rights Respecting School’, an award given to schools on behalf of UNICEF UK.

As part of our Rights Respecting Schools journey we have developed a set of charters for the school. A charter is a visual document that establishes an agreed set of rights-based principles upon which relationships can be based and which provide a language for shared values.
