Alt Bridge is a rights respecting committed School working towards being rights aware
The UNICEF UK Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA) is based on principles of equality, dignity, respect, non-discrimination, and participation.
The RRSA 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 all child’s talents and abilities to their full potential.
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.
We are a rights respecting school where the inherent dignity of every child is valued. Students have a strong voice and are regularly consulted about the development of our school. Students speak positively about the strong relationships within our school and the respect shown in our School community.
Over the last two years we have been working towards the GOLD award to fully embed rights in all aspects of School life.
