Congratulations to everyone who helped us to achieve our Silver Rights Respecting Schools Award.

Here are some of the comments from our accreditation report –

There is a strong commitment and ethos to the continued focus of placing CRC at the heart of learner’s experiences. Incorporating the school’s values of kindness, respect and being safe ensures that there is a shared understanding of how rights and values are key components in the school’s foundations.

Pupils and visitors to the school are welcomed by the UNCRC display at the main entrance, this child led poster is used as a statement that reinforces that rights are central to the learning environment. Class charters are negotiated each year and are used so as to engage children and staff in rights-based discussions.

With child led committees, pupils felt comfortable expressing their opinions and were active agents who participated in decisions about school life.

It was clear that children and adults collaborate to maintain and develop the school community. Examples provided was the celebration calendar which captured a wider understanding and recognition of the diverse community which the school serves.
