At Wishaw Academy, we are committed to promoting a positive, respectful, and inclusive environment where every child’s rights are at the heart of everything we do. Through our engagement with the Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA), we strive to create a community where children’s voices are heard, valued, and empowered.

We believe that by actively promoting and respecting the rights of all students, we not only create a safe space for learning, but we also foster an atmosphere of kindness, empathy, and mutual respect. Our pupils are encouraged to take ownership of their rights and responsibilities, working together to build stronger relationships, support each other’s well-being, and make a meaningful contribution to the school community.

This focus on positive values ensures that every child feels confident, supported, and valued, leading to greater self-esteem, personal growth, and a culture where everyone can thrive. By promoting positivity through the RRSA framework, we are shaping a generation of young people who are not only aware of their rights but are also inspired to act with compassion, respect, and understanding towards others.
