We want all of our children to be independent learners and thinkers, challenging themselves to achieve higher in all areas of the curriculum and beyond and to strive to be the best they can be.

 

CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD

As a school that respects the rights of the children and adults in our school family, community and beyond, we aim to adhere to articles from UNICEF’s Convention on the Rights of the Child.

As part of our whole school vision, we are working towards the following articles:

• Article 3. The best interests of the child must be a top priority in all things that affect them
• Article 13. Every child must be free to say what they think and to seek and receive all kinds of information
• Article 28. Every child has the right to an education
• Article 29. Education must develop every child’s personality, talents and abilities to the full
• Article 31. Every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities
