Cathedral Primary has been embedding the UNCRC articles into the life and work of our school community for many years, and this commitment was highlighted as a key strength in our recent inspection report. Inspectors noted that:

“Across the school, children demonstrate a deepening understanding of children’s rights and feel their rights are respected. All classes have a class charter, created by the children, for the children. Senior leaders ensure children’s rights are a regular focus of school assemblies, supported further by class lessons. The highly effective work of the Rights Respecting pupil group ensures that children’s rights are central to the life of the school.”

Following an accreditation morning on Friday 30th January, Cathedral Primary was delighted to be awarded Silver Rights Respecting Schools status. This achievement reflects a whole‑school effort, but particular thanks go to Mrs Shevelin and the RRS Committee for gathering evidence and presenting it so confidently on the day.

A wonderful milestone for our school community and a testament to our children’s commitment to understanding and championing the UNC Rights of the Child.
