Rights Respecting School


The Rights Respecting Schools Award is a Unicef UK programme that aims to put children's rights at the heart of our school ethos and culture. Our aim is to improve well-being and develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential. 

Article 4 - Governments must do all they can to make sure that every child can enjoy their rights! 

We are currently working hard towards achieving our Gold Rights Respecting School Award. Our Rights Knights and Senedd Groups are developing the school and wider community's awareness of a wider range of rights.
