Rights Respecting School Award
Duncanrig has secured the RRSA at silver level and we are now aiming for gold!
The Rights Respecting Schools Award puts children’s rights at the heart of school life.
We have been working with UNICEF to create safe and inspiring places to learn, where children are respected, their talents are nurtured and they are able to thrive. Our Rights Respecting Schools Award embeds these values in daily school life and gives children the best chance to lead happy, healthy lives and to be responsible, active citizens.
Our silver award recognises a school’s achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child into practice within the school and beyond.
Achieving Silver: Rights Aware means there is evidence that we are:
We are explicitly embedding the UN Convention on the rights of the child in our policy, practice and culture.
We are promoting knowledge and understanding of the Convention throughout our school community.
We are putting into action and developing the plans outlined on our Action Plan for Silver.
We are beginning to see the positive impact of these actions on children and young people, staff, and on the school’s ethos, practice and environment.
Children and young people are beginning to see themselves as rights respecting global citizens and advocates for fairness and children’s rights, both locally and globally.
