We are a Rights Respecting School
PENWORTHAM IS A GOLD RIGHTS RESPECTING SCHOOL
This is the Highest award given to schools by UNICEF, a leading organisation for children and their rights. The UNICEF UK Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA) is based on the principles of equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination and participation. The RRSA seeks to put the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child at the heart of the school’s ethos and culture to improve well-being and develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential. Penwortham is a community where children’s rights are lived, learned and understood.
Our Rights Respecting Steering Group helps make sure children’s rights are at the heart of everything we do at our school.
The group includes pupils, staff and governors. Together, they:
- Promote children’s rights across the whole school
- Listen to pupil voice and make sure children are involved in decisions
- Support staff to embed rights in learning, behaviour and school policies
- Monitor and improve how well we live and learn through our shared values
