Lyminster Primary School

Rights Respecting school

Unicef UK Rights Respecting Schools   

‘UNICEF UK's Rights Respecting Schools Award seeks to put the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child at the heart of a school's ethos and culture to improve well-being and develop every child's talents and abilities to their full potential.’  

Each week in school there is an assembly all about the children’s rights in accordance with UNICEF and the Rights Respecting School Award. Each week there is a clear focus that supports the implementation of articles that pupils are able to discuss in class. The articles that are shared are taken directly from the 42 articles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. 

To ensure the pupils are able to continue to learn about their rights and as we cannot be in school at the moment, each week there will be a different focus/article on this page. There will also be a PowerPoint to share as a family and for children to continue to learn about their rights. 

If you choose to complete any creative work from the PowerPoint, please share on the RRSA Facebook community group, on Twitter using hashtag #RRSA and @LyminsterSchool.

Food Tasting for Chartwells!

The Rights Respecting Ambassadors were asked to take part in food tasting for Chartwell's new menu. The children were very adventurous trying new foods and reviewed their meals on a questionnaire. Their next step could be testing foods from Masterchef!
