Rights Respecting Schools Award
Seely Primary School currently holds the Rights Respecting Schools Bronze Award and we are working towards achieving the Silver award.
We understand that children all over the world should have the same rights and these are the rights outlined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. At Seely, we are committed to teaching the children about their rights and ensuring everyone plays their part in making children's rights real.
Our curriculum, assemblies, personal development and pupil leadership groups focus on developing these rights and making them at the forefront of everything we do at Seely.
Whilst the children are taught about all rights, we focus particularly on the following:
Right 2: No discrimination
Right 3: Best interests of the child
Right 6: Life, survival and development
Right 8: Identity
Right 12: Respect for children's views
Right 13: Sharing thoughts freely
Right 14: Freedom of thought and religion
Right 15: Setting up and joining groups
Right 17: Access to information
Right 19: Protection from violence
Right 22: Refugee children
Right 23: Children with disabilities
Right 24: Health, water, food, environment
Right 26: Social and economic help
Right 27: Food, clothing, a safe home
Right 28: Access to education

Right 30: Minority culture, language and religion

We are proud to be a Rights Respecting School and are working to obtain our Silver award in 2024-25.
