St Angela’s Primary is delighted to be recognised as a Bronze ‘Rights Respecting School’. This award is given to schools who have shown a commitment to putting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) at the heart of the school’s ethos and culture.
We are now on our journey to the Silver Award.
UNICEF is the world’s leading organisation working for children and young people and their rights. These Rights are based on what a child or young person needs to survive, grow, participate and fulfil their potential.
Through participation in the Rights Respecting Schools award, children’s rights are learned, protected and promoted.
The potential impact of participation in the RRSA can be:
- Improved self-esteem and feelings of being valued and listened to
- Increased levels of respect for each other, leading to improved relationships with other pupils and staff
- A sense of security as rights respecting language is used consistently throughout the school
- An understanding and respect of cultures, beliefs and abilities different from their own
- A wider and deeper understanding of the world in which they live
