As a school, we are on a journey to become a UNICEF Rights Respecting School. We will be focusing on the articles set out by UNICEF and incorporating them into our school values.

Our class charters help us make the right decisions to ensure our classroom and school is a great place to be. 

We then spoke about the articles and decided which were most important to us in creating a safe, happy and enjoyable place to learn. The articles we decided on are shown below and we have added what we will do to achieve them.

Article 15: We all have the right to choose our own friends and join clubs:

"We will get to know our friends and respect them for their different personalities and opinions; 

"We will look after classmates who are on their own and invite them into our friendship groups;will discuss the importance of having a healthy diet

"We will join an after-school club or group to increase our friendship groups and experiences;

"Our adults will give us extra opportunities to learn and play with our friends in the school week, to help us improve our wellbeing."

Article 12: We all have the right to express our views freely:

"We will be listened to and our opinion be respected because they are our views;

"We will respect the views and opinions of others in our classrooms because they are as important as our own;

"We will ensure that our views are appropriate for our age before we share them;

"Our adults will give us extra opportunities to express our views and will help us to formulate our views if we find it hard to put them into words but we will respect their views too."

Article 28: We all have the right to learn:

"We will listen to our adults and classmates;

"We will help our friends if they are stuck or don’t know what to do;

"We will BE THE BEST WE CAN BE by being resilient at all times;

"Our adults will teach us new things every day, planning exciting and interesting ways for us to learn."
