Rights Respecting School

St. Bridget’s Primary School has been officially recognised by UNCIEF for our commitment to recognising and promoting the rights of children with the Silver Rights Respecting School Award.
The Silver Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) recognises good progress of embedding the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in school’s policy, practice and ethos. As a Rights Respecting School, we not only teach children about the rights they are entitled to but we also model rights and respect in our relationships and interactions.
St. Bridget’s Primary School is committed to being a Rights Respecting School. This means we strive to continue to develop and grow to become a school where children’s rights are fully embedded within our policies, practice and ethos.
Our commitment to being a Rights Respecting School is evident in a variety of ways:
  • Teachers and pupils work collaboratively to devise charters which sets out an agreement of how both duty bearers and rights holders will work together to ensure that all children are able to access their rights.
  • Children’s rights are reflected in the school’s Promoting Positive Relationships Policy.
  • Management meet regularly with the Rights Respecting Schools steering group to discuss, implement and evaluate ways to improve the school.
  • Displays around the school highlight children’s rights.
  • Our school continues to support a variety of charitable projects as well as ongoing commitment to supporting the local, national and global community.
