At Hill of Beath we are incredibly proud to be a Rights Respecting school and of having achieved the Bronze Rights Respecting Award.

The Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA) is run by UNICEF UK and is based on the principles of the UNCRC – the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The initiative encourages schools to not only learn about children’s rights but also to encourage respect in all school relationships.

A rights-respecting school is a community where children’s rights are learned, taught, practised, respected, protected and promoted. Young people and the school community learn about children’s rights by putting them into practice every day.

UNICEF UK RIGHTS RESPECTING SCHOOLS ARE REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT FOUR EVIDENCE-BASED STANDARDS.

• Rights-respecting values underpin leadership and management.
• The whole school community learns about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
• The school has a rights-respecting ethos.
• Children are empowered to become active citizens and learners.
