Stewarton Academy Rights-Respecting School

Stewarton Academy is a proud participant of UNICEFs Rights-Respecting Schools Initiative. We are currently embarking on the journey to achieve the Gold Award after successfully awarded the Silver award in June 2022.

This scheme encourages our school to promote the UNCRC’s principles of equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination and participation. It allows our school community to place children’s rights at the heart of the school curriculum, culture and ethos so that we can create a caring and mutually respectful environment which is conducive to high quality learning and teaching.

 

We have a proactive team of pupils and staff striving to push this initiative forward at Stewarton Academy by raising awareness of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child to create a safe and inspiring place to learn; where pupils are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive.

The Rights Respecting Schools Award embeds these values in daily school life and gives children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.
