UN Rights of the Child
In 1989, 194 governments across the world promised that every child would have the same rights -the Rights of the Child. It tells everyone what they must do to make sure that every child can grow, learn, be safe, can be listened to and treated fairly.
We feel it is important that our pupils are aware of and have an understanding of their rights.
We focus upon the UN ‘Rights of the Child’ in Worship, PSHE and cross curricular lessons. We have previously had visits from Guide Dogs for the Blind and during Holocaust Memorial Day. In Spring Term, we used the book "For every Child" as a starting point for our learning. Each class created a display linked to one of the rights. Each class led an assembly about a different 'right' and we ended the half term with a whole school assembly for parents about what we had learnt.

Holocaust Memorial Day
"The pupils responded really well in our workshop on Holocaust Memorial Day. They were keen to share their respect for each other and the communities they lived in. One pupil came to me at the end of the session to ask how she could stop anything like the Holocaust from happening again- Heartfelt and honest" - Seb Smith (Lancashire Ethnic Minority Gypsy Roma and Traveller Achievement Service)
"Thank you for inviting us in today, we had a lovely time. We worked in both Year 5 and 6. The children were very well behaved, welcoming and interested in the sessions. It was clear that they had discussed the PSHE elements and practiced them too. It was the same in the whole school assembly. Thank you again. Sam Hoban (Lancashire Ethnic Minority Gypsy Roma and Traveller Achievement Service)
