Aiming High, Working Together
Well done to everyone at Chatelherault who worked so hard on our journey to the Gold Rights Respecting Schools award. A special thank you to our amazing Pupil Voice Group who have helped our school find ways to ensure children can learn about and enjoy their rights!
WE ARE A RIGHTS RESPECTING SCHOOL!
This year, our school has participated in the 2021/22 OutRight Campaign. The focus of the campaign has been children and young People’s mental health. This was something we felt very strongly about participating in, particularly after the difficult lockdowns we had all experienced.
The children have enjoyed learning about the importance of their mental wellbeing, how it relates to their rights and what we can do to support mental wellbeing in school. The children have been empowered to take actions and we have created a whole school mental health declaration! This is now on display for everyone to see and be reminded of the things we are doing and can do to help each other.
Here are our recent meeting minutes:
We had a productive meeting today looking at Outdoor Learning and how this links to Children’s Rights.
The children had fantastic discussions about caring for the environment, COP26 and the benefits of learning outdoors for all. Have a look at the minutes below.
The Rights Respecting pupil voice group met today for our first meeting. Our group is made up of at least one volunteer from each pupil voice group and we have ensured there is a mix of children from all stages across the school.
Today we celebrated achieving the Silver award and spoke about our journey towards GOLD!
The children are keen to ensure the adults in class, in their pupil voice group and across the school, continue to discuss rights and help the children learn about them!
Today all of the children in Chatelherault met with their chosen Pupil Voice Group. This is a very important job and allows the children to share their opinions and for the adults in school and the community to take their views seriously (Article 12).
Each group has chosen a Rights Respecting Schools representative. The representative will help to ensure that rights is discussed as part of the agenda at each meeting and will feedback the work of the groups at our meetings.
We can’t wait to meet the team and will share their photo and all of the wonderful work of the Pupil Groups soon!
We are RIGHTS AWARE and have achieved our Silver accreditation. Our journey to Gold begins and we can’t wait to share it with everyone!
