Rights Respecting School
At Airy Hill Primary School children’s rights are at the heart of our ethos and culture. After a year of being a Bronze Rights Respecting School, in December 2023 we became a ‘Silver: Rights Aware’ school. This is recognition of the work we do day, day out to promote and uphold children’s rights.
The award is given on behalf of UNICEF UK. UNICEF is the world’s leading organisation working for children and young people and their rights. In 1989, governments across the world agreed that all children should have the same rights by adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). These rights are based on what every child, despite their differences, needs to survive, grow, participate and fulfil their potential.
Rights Respecting Ambassadors
An important part of our Rights Respecting school is our Rights Respecting Ambassadors (RRSA). These are a group of children, voted for by their classes, to represent the views of their peers. It is their job to help us improve every aspect of school, and have made some big changes so far!
