We are working towards our Bronze award within the UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools programme.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is based on an analysis of what children need in order to thrive. These needs are grouped into four categories:

• To survive as a fit and healthy person
• To be protected from harm and abuse
• To develop physically, mentally and socially
• To participate as an active citizen

 UNICEF UK's Rights Respecting School award is based on principles of equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination and participation. Our commitment to developing this as a whole school policy can be seen in the school’s ethos and culture. We aim to ensure that the principles of this are at the heart of our school's practice in order to improve wellbeing and help all children realise their potential.
