Rights Respecting Schools
Heolgerrig Community School aims to be a school where children’s rights are at the heart of our ethos and culture, to improve well-being and to develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential.
Unicef is the world’s leading organisation working for children and young people and their rights. In 1989, governments across the world agreed that all children have the same rights by adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). These rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow, participate and fulfil their potential.
This convention sets out 42 rights that children across the world should have. It is our aim, as a school, that children know about these rights and have these rights met, whilst respecting and valuing them. The rights are known as articles.
What's it all about?
