A JERSEY primary school has been praised for its “strong commitment to children’s rights” after being awarded a prestigious UNICEF UK award.
The Silver Rights Respecting School Award recognises schools that demonstrate a strong commitment to promoting children’s rights and embedding the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into school life and learning.
Silver status is awarded to schools that make excellent progress in placing children’s rights at the heart of their ethos and curriculum.
UNICEF UK recognised La Moye School for “its strong commitment to children’s rights”, highlighting the way pupils are meaningfully involved in decision-making and encouraged to contribute to the wider school community.
Inspectors also praised the school for embedding rights across the curriculum, promoting diversity and enabling pupils to lead projects while sharing “thoughtful perspectives that enrich the whole school community”.
Headteacher John Baudains described the reaccreditation as a proud achievement for the whole school community.
He said: “I am delighted that the school’s hard work in embedding children’s rights has been recognised by UNICEF.
“The team here are committed to ensuring that this work is connected and interlinked to our academic curriculum and our personal development curriculum, so it is meaningful to all our children.
“During the assessment, the children talked with such passion and deep understanding, which reminded us how far we have come on our journey.
“Special thanks must go to Shianne Price-Bramble, our rights respecting lead who drives this work and leads our school council.”
The UNICEF UK Rights Respecting Schools initiative supports schools across the UK and the Channel Islands. Schools taking part report improvements in behaviour, relationships and wellbeing, alongside increased self-esteem among pupils, helping to reduce bullying and absenteeism while strengthening engagement with learning.
