Rhos Primary School is a Rights Respecting School, this means that most children are aware of ‘The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child’, or UNCRC. The Convention has 54 articles, these articles cover all aspects of a child’s life including ensuring that children are aware of their political, social and cultural rights. All children are entitled to these rights. The UNCRC ensures that adults and governments must work together to allow children to have access to their rights.
Rhos Primary School has been awarded bronze status thus far, for the ‘Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA). We are currently working towards achieving our silver accreditation.
