Red Nose Day\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The RRS group had the best time planning all the activities and we’re sure you can see how much fun everyone had on the day itself!<\/p>\n

From face painting and biscuit design to throwing a sponge at Mrs Beveridge, Miss Barrett and Mr Gilroy.<\/p>\n

The children all had a blast and the RRS can’t wait to plan for an even better event next year!<\/p>\n

The RRS group would like to thank everyone for their donations and for buying Red Noses this year.<\/p>\n

Here at Nether Robertland Primary, we pride ourselves on being a Gold Rights Respecting School, where everyone feels empowered, confident and encouraged to use their voice.\u00a0Human rights are basic rights that belong to all of us simply because we are human.\u00a0In school, we explore rights to help us raise awareness of injustice\u00a0in the world\u00a0and discover the importance of fairness, dignity, equality and respect.<\/p>\n

Using the\u00a0UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)\u00a0as our guide, we<\/span><\/span> create safe and inspiring learning spaces, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and pupils are able to thrive. Being a Rights Respecting School means we embed these values in daily school life and give everyone the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
