Rights Respecting School

As part of our Rights Respecting School Award we are looking at different areas across the school.

The Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) Improvement Group have  recently launched our school wide Right of the Week project. The aim of the project is to ensure all stakeholders within the school are familiar with the Rights of the Child. As we work towards our Bronze and Silver Awards, we are promoting participation from everyone in the school.

The Right of the Week this week is
“The Right to have a Clean Environment”

Pupils have been working hard helping to look after their environment in school, outside and at home.

Volunteers required

Knitting project

Senior pupils are looking for any volunteers to knit chicks for their senior enterprise college course. Completed chicks can  be sent into school by Wednesday the 20th of March. Any help would be much appreciated. #enterprise
