At Court Field’s School, we are a Bronze Rights Respecting School. This means children’s rights, as set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN CRC), guide our values, curriculum, policies, and daily practice. What this means in our school:
1. Children’s Rights Come First
We use the UNCRC to ensure every child is treated with dignity and respect, decisions are made in their best interests, and pupils learn about their own rights and the rights of others.
2. Pupils Have a Voice
Children are encouraged to share their views, take part in decision making, and feel confident that their opinions matter.
3. Respect Shapes Our Culture
Respect is modelled in behaviour, relationships, and conflict resolution, becoming part of our everyday ethos.
4. A Safe, Inclusive Environment
We promote equality, fairness, anti bullying, and emotional and physical safety so that every child feels valued and cared for.
5. Global Citizenship
Pupils learn how rights apply locally and globally and how they can make a positive difference in the world.
6. A Positive Learning Environment
Rights respecting practice helps build stronger relationships, better behaviour, increased confidence, and a greater sense of community.
