Rights Respecting Schools

We are proud to be a silver rights respecting school. In 2019 we start our journey to become a gold standard rights respecting school. A gold rights respecting school is a community in which a Child’s rights approach is fully embedded and sustained. Such an approach is founded on core human rights principles.

There are four key areas of impact for children at a Rights Respecting school; wellbeing, participation, relationships and self-esteem.

Through whole school participation and our role as “Duty Bearers” for our learners, we work together to ensure that learners have knowledge of their rights and ensure the rights of our students are applied in our planning and provision at Pen-y-Cwm .
