We are proud to be a Rights Respecting School!
As a Rights Respecting School, we put the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) at the heart of our ethos and curriculum. We aim to improve well-being and develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential. The UNCRC is made up of 42 articles which outline the civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights of children. These are the rights that every child should have, regardless of where they are in the world.
UNIVERSAL: Rights are for ALL children
INHERENT: Rights are there at BIRTH
INALIENABLE: Rights CANNOT be taken away
UNCONDITIONAL: Rights DO NOT have to be earnt
INDIVISIBLE: All rights are EQUALLY important

Rights Respecting Steering Group – Autumn 2025
During the Autumn term, the Rights Respecting Steering Group have been very busy.
In September our right of the month was Article 28 – The right to learn and go to school. We welcomed our new members to our RRS group. We ensured that all classes have a class charter displayed in their classroom. A class charter is an agreement made by staff and pupils about behaviour and respect in the classroom.
In October, our right of the month was Article 19 – The right not to be harmed and to be looked after and be kept safe. We thought about how we can keep safe during Halloween and Bonfire Night. Older pupils also completed work on Black History Month. The group also compiled a short video to remind parents not to park on the zig-zag lines outside of school. This has become quite an issue and really has an impact on our safety.
Our November article was Article 1 – Everyone under the age of 18 has these rights. This is linked to Universal Children’ Day – 20th November. We sang our Rights song: We stand together. We also had a very special assembly led by the Children’s Commissioner for Wales. She spoke to us about her role and the importance of children’s rights.
