Rights Respecting

At Peartree we are dedicated to ensuring children’s wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. We endeavour to help our pupils grow into confident, caring and responsible young people both in school and within the wider community and realise their potential.

We are a GOLD UNICEF Rights Respecting School because we have embedded the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) within our whole school ethos. Unicef’s Rights Respecting Schools programme encourages schools to put children’s rights at the heart of everything. There are four key areas that are measured by Unicef in determining Rights Respecting School awards. These are:

• Wellbeing
• Participation
• Relationships
• Self-esteem

A Rights Respecting school is a community where children’s rights are learned, taught, practised, respected, protected and promoted. Young people and the school community learn about children’s rights by putting them into practice every day.
