Rights Respecting Schools
We have now achieved the Bronze: Rights Committed award for Rights Respecting Schools. Together as a team we are now focusing on becoming a Silver Accredited School.
We ran a competition last year to design our schools ‘Rights Mascot’. We had lots of entries and some fantastic ideas! The School Council/ Rights Steering Group looked at each entry and together we decided on the winner. A big Da iawn to Aurora in Dosbarth Seren ⭐
We then needed to name this wonderful mascot. Again, lots of wonderful ideas were put forward by each class across the school. The School Council/ Steering Group held a virtual meeting to decide on the winner. The winning name was ‘Buzz’. Here is Buzz our rights mascot.
The difference that a Rights Respecting School makes goes beyond the school gates, making a positive impact on the whole community. Please keep up to date with what we are doing as a school and regularly check out our ‘Right of the Month’ to explore different rights with your children at home.
February: Article 42 – Knowledge of rights
March: Article 7- Birth registration, name, nationality, care
UNICEF UK’s Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA) is an initiative
leading to an award which recognises achievement in putting the
convention at the heart of the school’s planning, policies, practices and
ethos.
