Rights Respecting

Airyhall is a Rights Respecting School. Having worked towards the Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) we have been recognised for putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) at the heart of a school’s planning, policies, practice and ethos.

As a Rights Respecting School we aim to provide opportunities for children to learn about their rights as well as models rights and respect in all its relationships: between teachers / adults and pupils, between adults and between pupils.

It is important that adults as well as children are familiar with the Unicted Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). The following document provides a useful summary of the UNCRC:

The Rights Respecting Group created a video which explains some of the articles in the UNCRC.
