Unicef is the world’s leading organisation working for children and their rights. The Rights Respecting Schools Award is granted to schools that show commitment to promoting and realising children’s rights and encouraging adults, children and young people to respect the rights of others in school.

Unicef works with schools in the UK to create safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive. Our 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.

As part of our journey towards gaining our Rights Respecting School Silver  award, we would like to share the Article for the week. For those that so wish,  additional information  will be made available to support pupils and families to discuss the article for the week and relate it to life within the local community.
