At Peterhead Central Primary, our Vision, Values, and Aims closely align with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), ensuring that children’s rights are at the heart of everything we do.

Our vision is to create a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every child is valued, respected, and supported to achieve their full potential. This directly supports Article 28 (the right to an education) and Article 29 (education must develop every child’s personality, talents and abilities to the full).

Our school values—Respect, Kindness, Responsibility, Honesty, and Fairness—reflect the principles of dignity and equality found throughout the UNCRC. For example, Article 2 ensures that all children have rights without discrimination, while Article 12 highlights the importance of listening to children’s views, which we encourage through pupil voice and inclusive decision-making.

Our aims focus on providing high-quality learning experiences, promoting wellbeing, celebrating diversity, and preparing our children to be responsible, confident citizens. These connect with Article 3 (the best interests of the child must be a top priority), Article 6 (every child has the right to life, survival and development), and Article 31 (the right to rest, play, and take part in cultural and creative activities).

By embedding our vision, values, and aims into daily school life, we ensure that the rights of every child are not just taught but truly lived and respected throughout our school community.
