‘Rights Respecting School’

As part of our Health & Wellbeing programme all children in the school have been learning about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. We have been looking at film and animation illustrating children’s rights and have been having a go at creating our own. We will be posting our film and animations soon !

Take a look at the photos to see the types of activities we have been involved in. We have been discussing the difference between ‘wants’ and ‘needs’ and thinking about our rights and responsibilities in school.

A Rights Respecting School

This term we will be looking closely at the UN Rights of the Child and our Rights and Responsibilities in school. We are hoping that all our good work over the new year will help us to achieve a very prestigious award called ‘Rights Respecting Schools’ issued by the charitable organisation Unicef. It recognises the work children themselves do in raising awareness of their rights and the rights of all children across the world. With Rights comes Responsibilities and at Calderbank we will be working very hard to ensure that we are all aware of our rights and what we need to do to fulfil our responsibilities as Responsible Citizens of Calderbank Primary School.

Calderbank – Eco School

Hi everyone, Calderbank Primary have been trying very hard over the years to become more Eco  friendly. We are working towards our first Eco flag and we are very confident that it will be flying outside our school very soon !

Meet our  Eco Committee !

How can you  help ?

We will be organising a community clean up very soon and would really like your support. If any members of the local community would like to help us in this please contact the school.
