This week has seen the launch of our Rights Respecting School initiative.

We are using this award to transform the work we do with our pupils. Through this work pupils and adults come together as a community to learn about children’s rights and how to put them into practice every day. In Rights Respecting Schools children’s rights are promoted and realised and adults and children work towards this goal together.

We don't expect this to be a quick journey for us, but we believe this will develop and enhance the work we already do to educate and support your children to be safe and to be the best members of society they can be.

There are four key areas of impact for children at a Rights Respecting school; wellbeing, participation, relationships and self-esteem.

The difference that a Rights Respecting School makes goes far beyond the school gates, making a positive impact on the whole community.

• Children are healthier and happier
• Children feel safe
• Children have better relationships
• Children become active and involved in school life and the wider world

Look out for more information in the bulletin each week about the different rights and for a Rights Respecting coffee morning for families.
