At Hazelbury Primary School we are committed to ensuring that both the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and global citizenship are central to our core values and ethos.  

Rights Respecting

Every child has rights, whatever their ethnicity, gender, religion, language, abilities or any other status.

As duty bearers, we ensure children’s rights are respected, taught, practised, protected and promoted.  They are encouraged to become active and involved in school life and the wider world.  

The four keys areas of impact for children at a Rights Respecting school; wellbeing, participation, relationships and self-esteem are in line with our curriculum drivers and school ethos.  

What is a Rights Respecting School?

A UNICEF Rights Respecting School puts the rights of a child at the centre of its ethos and culture with a focus on improving well-being and enabling all children to realise their potential.  

Rights Respecting Schools promote the importance of pupil voice enabling children to feel heard and confident within themselves.

The Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA) recognises achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child at the heart of school’s planning, policies, practice and ethos.
