Unicef Silver Award

We are proud to announce that on Wednesday 3rd July, we successfully achieved the UNICEF UK Silver – Rights Aware Award for our rights-respecting work!

Silver - Rights Aware: Rights Aware is the second stage of the Rights Respecting Schools Award (after Bronze: Rights Committed, which we achieved in December 2018). 

The Rights Respecting Schools Award recognises achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) at the heart of our school’s planning, policies, practice and ethos.

Achieving Silver: Rights Aware means there is evidence that:

• our school is explicitly embedding the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in our policy, practice and culture.
• our school is promoting knowledge and understanding of the Convention throughout the school community.
• our school is putting into action and developing the plans outlined on our Action Plan for Silver, which was submitted to achieve our Bronze: Rights Committed Award in December 2018.
• our school is beginning to see the positive impact of these actions our children, staff, and on our school’s ethos, practice and environment.
• our pupils are beginning to see themselves as rights respecting global citizens and advocates for fairness and children’s rights, both locally and globally.

The accreditation visit we had was very positive and the professional advisor from UNICEF really enjoyed visiting our school. We are really proud of the staff and children who have worked together to achieve this award.
