We are delighted to share the exciting news that Whitchurch Community Primary School has achieved Rights Respecting Schools Bronze: Rights Committed status.
 

This is a wonderful milestone for our school and marks the beginning of an important journey as we continue to place children’s rights, pupil voice and respect at the heart of school life. The Rights Respecting Schools Award supports schools to embed the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into their ethos and everyday practice, helping children to understand their own rights and the rights of others.
 

This achievement has been diligently spearheaded by Mrs Higginson, and we are hugely grateful for the time, energy and commitment she has given to leading this work across the school. Her passion for ensuring that children feel heard, valued and empowered has been central to us reaching this important first stage.
 

We are incredibly proud of this achievement, but we also recognise that this is only the beginning. We are now excited to continue developing this work further as we begin our journey towards Silver: Rights Aware status.
 

Over the coming months, pupils will continue to learn more about their rights, responsibilities and how they can contribute positively to their school, local community and wider world. We look forward to sharing more of this work with you as it grows across the school.
