RRSA and Global Learning at The Glebe Primary
We are delighted to inform you that we were re-accredited our Silver Rights Respecting Schools Award on Tuesday the 8th of April 2025. With new leadership, here at The Glebe we would like to continue our journey on Unicef UK’s Rights Respecting School programme.
Unicef is the world’s leading organisation working for children and their rights. The Rights Respecting Schools Award is granted to schools that show commitment to promoting and realising children’s rights and encouraging adults, children and young people to respect the rights of others in school.
Following the relaunch, we would like to say a huge thank you to our parents, carers and visitors for your continued support with all our Rights Respecting work, and we hope that you will continue to support us as we work towards achieving our Gold Award once again.
How can you support your child at home to become ‘Rights Aware’?
- Take the time to ask your child what he/she has learnt recently regarding children’s rights and how their duty bearers show respect for those rights.
- Discuss these ideas, and use your own experiences, or those from the media, to explore how these rights have been respected or denied.
- Discuss how your child or family can help promote children’s rights, or help those who have their rights denied.
- Ask your child’s opinion on children’s rights and how they think they are met.
Unicef have shown that when children are taught about their rights under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, they are more respectful towards the rights of others.
It improves:
- Self-esteem and the feeling of being valued and listened to.
- Levels of respect, and relationships with adults.
- Sense of security when rights-respecting language is used across school.
- Understanding and respect of other religions, cultures, beliefs and abilities different to their own.
- Their understanding of the world they live in.
Our staff and children are extremely enthusiastic about the project, and we continue to promote the rights of children locally, nationally and globally.
The Changemakers meet fortnightly to discuss new ideas and ways of improving our school, with a strong focus on how we can further promote children’s rights. If you would like to get involved, please contact Miss Myers.
In line with the relaunch of RRSA at The Glebe, we have made the decision to incorporate opportunities for teaching and learning surrounding Global developments and issues. The aim of this work is to equip children with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that they need to make a positive contribution to the world they live in. As always, if you would like to be involved in this positive change, please see Miss Hunt or Miss Myers to discuss this further.
Global Goals:
‘Leaders have ensured pupils understand the importance of education and friendship in this country and beyond. Pupils can speak clearly about the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child.’
