Rights Respecting School – Our Class Charters

As part of our Rights Respecting Schools work, every class has worked together to create a Class Charter. Each Charter shares the agreement made on shared values and relationships for a Rights Respecting classroom which is based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

The Class Charters are very creative and we are delighted to share a video of them below.
