Mr McGrattan's Year 2 Rights Assembly

Tue 26 Nov 2019

Many thanks to Mr McGrattan's wonderful Year 2 children on their amazing assembly about rights. The children used some excellent vocabulary and spoke so clearly to remind our boys and girls that they have the right to an education, to play, to learn, to a safe home, to be safe from harm and to have a name. The children sang a beautiful song and performed so well. Congratulations!

Celebrating 30 years of Children’s Rights #UNCRC

Mon 25 Nov 2019

On Wednesday 20th November pupils from our Faith Council travelled to W5 in the Odyssey with Mr McGrattan and Mrs Saunders to celebrate the 30 year anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)

This convention in 1989 marked the beginning of a new era for children’s rights.

Now, 30 years later, the voice of the child informs all of our decision-making in school... and rightly so!

All of the pupils thoroughly enjoyed this celebration in W5 and went back home to their families feeling empowered and excited about what the future holds for them.

Sincere thanks to the Ken and the NICCY team for organizing such a momentous and memorable day.

Back in School …….

Back in school we celebrated the day with our very own balloon release which also marked the launch of our Rights Respecting School Reaccreditation Campaign. We also created a lovely display of work where children from the Nursery to Year 7 looked at different rights of the child and created some fabulous work!
