Rights Respecting SchoolWe at Old Church are a Rights Respecting School.
UNICEF’s Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA) recognises achievement in putting the Convention at the heart of a school’s ethos. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child sets out the rights of every person under 18 and how those rights should be met. It is an international statement of the civil, political, social and cultural rights of children. The UN General Assembly adopted the Convention in 1989 and it was ratified by the United Kingdom in 1991. At Old Church, the child is at the heart of everything we do and we whole-heartedly respect children’s rights. The children are supported in respecting each other, adults and their environment. Children’s views are sought and they gradually become able to lead their own learning, through pursuing their natural curiosity.
