Relationships in Windygoul

We know that good teaching and learning begins with positive relationships. Our nurturing approach recognises that positive relationships are central to both learning and wellbeing. We build on this to ensure that our whole school environment enables our children to be included, engaged and involved across the curriculum and the daily life of the school.

UNCRC Silver Award

We are a Silver Award rated school by the Rights Respecting Schools Award Scheme. This means that we have a rights respecting ethos which empowers our children and learners. As a school community we have a knowledge and understanding of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Our Silver Award recognises that teaching and learning about, through and for rights is becoming established in aspects of our learning community. At the heart of this is our focus on positive relationships and ensuring that Rights of the Child are a large part of these relationships.

Positive Relationships

East Lothian Council believes that inclusion, equality and accessibility are essential components for schools to achieve equity and excellence in education for all our children and young people. An inclusive approach, with a celebration of diversity and an ambition for all to achieve is essential to getting it right for every child and raising attainment for all.
