We believe that one of our key roles is to produce learners who know that they have a right to have their voice heard. We want our children to be confident and articulate and to show respect and compassion to everyone they meet. The UNICEF Convention of the Rights of the Child have provided a common language for us to use with our children so that the rights for children not just in our school, but across the world can be discussed.
The UNICEF Rights of the Child are brought into everyday life in school as seen beside each display throughout the main corridor and classrooms (where appropriate), featuring in school policies and newsletters, in classroom charters, in lessons and assemblies.
We are proud that:
Our school group of elected Key Stage Two Ambassadors have participated in the UNICEF Outright Campaign for many years.
This school year the focus is on Rights Around the World. The Ambassadors have been learning about how to communicate if you have learning difficulties in Jamaica, the need for vaccinations from Mongolia, clean water in Malawi and protecting children from war in Sudan. this campaign will continue for the rest of the academic year and we look forward to contuing to learn about the rights of children throughout the world.
We have met with our new local MP following the redistribution of electoral wards and discussed with him our concerns about the rights of chidlren in Bexley. Also we have supported another primary school on their rights respecting journey.
Our whole school community - children, parents and staff, have been recognised for the passion shown and commitment to being a rights respecting school, as shown through the achievement of the Gold award.
