Rights Respecting

Rights Respecting

Home > Children  > Pupil Voice > Rights Respecting

The RRS steering group is a dedicated team of pupils, teachers, TAs, governors and parents. We aim to promote an understanding of the UNCRC rights of the child within the St Matthias community.

St Matthias C of E Primary School is a rights respecting school.  This means we put the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) at the heart of everything we do.  There are 54 articles in the convention; as a school we promote children’s rights and empower them to become global citizens. The UNCRC recognises that all children around the world are entitled to these rights.

Here is certificate that St Matthias have received in recognition of the fact that we are committed to promoting the rights of each and every child:

We have come a long way on our Rights Respecting journey, and in the Autumn term, we hope to secure our Rights Respecting Silver Accreditation award. We look forward to updating you on this.

Our St Matthias community is learning about our different rights and how we can make sure everybody has equal access to these. As a Rights Respecting school, we make sure that we learn and discuss our rights in assemblies, throughout our curriculum and in all that we do through the day. By teaching our children about their rights, we know that we are empowering them as young individuals As a school, we have made the commitment to make these rights a part of everything that  we do. We are passionate about telling others just how important these rights are; look here to see what your rights are!

Our Focus Articles

The rights of the child underpin everything that we do. As a school we have chosen six articles that we are particularly passionate about to focus on:

Come and see these proudly displayed on our Class Charters!

It can be hard to know what information that we read is fact (true) and what is not. This can be particularly difficult when we read information online. News that is not true is called ‘fake news’.

REMEMBER:
If you are ever worried by anything that you see or read online it is important that you always tell an adult that you trust.

Complete this BBC Bitesize quiz to separate the facts from the ‘fake news’.

Teaching the Rights Respecting Curriculum 

The St Matthias Curriculum has been be designed with the belief that everyone must know and understand the significance of children’s rights. For this reason, we have created a team of ‘Rights Ambassadors’ who’s role is to promote the rights of our children in the subjects that they lead.

Take a look at our ambassadors: St Matthias RR Embassadors

Take a look below to see how we explore a wide range of rights in our Humanities lessons across the year: Humanities Overview with RR 2020.21
