Rights Respecting School

At Pencaerau Primary School, we are proud to be a Silver: Rights Aware school, recognised by UNICEF UK’s Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA).

This award celebrates our commitment to placing the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) at the heart of everything we do. It reflects how we promote children’s rights in our school culture, curriculum, and relationships.

What does this mean for our school?

• Children learn about their rights and the rights of others.
• Our school community is built on the values of respect, empathy, resilience, and reflection.
• Pupils are empowered to use their voices, take part in decision-making, and become active global citizens.
• We foster a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every child is valued and heard.

What’s next?

We are now working towards achieving the Gold: Rights Respecting Award – the highest level of recognition. This means continuing to embed children’s rights across all aspects of school life and strengthening our partnerships with families and the wider community.
