Rights Respecting School Award Level 1

We are currently working towards achieving reaccreditation for UNICEF’s Rights Respecting Schools Award. This involves making sure that students at The Blandford School know and understand their rights as detailed in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC); and that students and staff understand how we can respect the rights of others.

There is more work to do in this process, but we are pleased with the progress made so far. We are very grateful for parent support in helping students become more aware of their rights as we seek to develop a positive, respectful school community where all students feel valued, significant and are fulfilling their potential.

Please see http://www.unicef.org.uk/rrsa for more details and to print off your own copy of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
