Fair Isle Primary School has been awarded Silver in the Rights Respecting Schools Awards.

The UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) supports schools across the UK to embed children’s rights in their ethos and culture. The award recognises achievement in putting the UN Convention on the Right of the Child (UNCRC) at the heart of a school’s practice to improve well-being and develop pupil awareness of rights.  Our pupils continue to develop their understanding of situations, both locally and globally, where children may not be able to access their rights, and to inspire our pupils to campaign for change.   There are 3 awards:

Bronze: Rights Committed

Silver: Rights Aware

Gold: Rights Respecting

Our pupils, parents and staff all participated in the Silver Accreditation virtual visit online.  The assessor was impressed by our children’s awareness of rights, the activities taking place in school to develop this understanding and our school culture that ensures respecting children’s rights are at the centre of our ethos.  We were excited to receive our certificate and banner! Our whole school community is very proud of the children’s effort towards achieving this award.
