Unicef Rights Respecting School: Gold: Rights Respecting
We're incredibly proud of the College community - our pupils and staff - who have worked together to achieve Gold: Rights Respecting.
The Award recognises achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child at the heart of a school’s planning, policies and practice. A Rights Respecting School is a community where children’s rights are learned, taught, practised, respected, protected and promoted.
Our school has explicitly adopted a child rights approach based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and has embedded it in the College's policy, practice and culture.
The College community has a thorough understanding of child rights, and rights respecting attitudes and language is embedded across the school.
The Rights Respecting Schools Award has had a positive impact on our pupils' learning and wellbeing.
Pupils see themselves as rights respecting global citizens and are advocates for social justice, fairness and children’s rights, both locally and globally.
Going forward, we aim to work together as a community and go further:
- Teaching and Learning about rights: for pupils and staff through training, curriculum, assemblies, topics, focus days/weeks, and displays.
- Teaching and Learning through rights: by modelling rights respecting language and attitudes and making strategic decisions that involve pupils.
- Being ambassadors for the rights of others: developing as rights respecting citizens.
What is a Rights Respecting school?
The UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) works with schools to create safe and inspiring places to learn - where children are able to thrive, their skills are nurtured and they are respected. Schools work towards achieving the Award, and by doing that, these values are embedded in daily school life, giving children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) are used as a guide. The CRC was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1989 and the UK ratified it in 1991. It is the most widely adopted international human rights treaty in history and sets out the human rights of everyone under 18.
