Rights Respecting Schools Committee

What is a Rights Respecting School?

The UNICEF UK Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) is based on principles of equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination and participation. The RRSA seeks to put the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child at the heart of a school’s ethos and culture to improve well-being and develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential.

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.

We are proud to have achieved our Silver Rights Respecting School Award and we are working towards achieving the Gold Rights Respecting Schools Award next!

Please look at our display in the school corridor for meeting minutes and information about what we are doing now!

Great news! This week we received the amazing news that we had successfully achieved our Gold Award.
