World Children’s Day
To mark World Children’s Day, we held a house morning, carried out a Community Litter Pick in St.Mark’s Park, and had a focus on playground games led by our support staff!
Our focus was Article 12 from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, ” I have the right to be listened to and taken seriously.”
Here are some photos of our House Morning. House Teams got together to create a banner to represent one of the rights of the child. It’s been a fun and busy day!
Restorative Practice
As part of our Rights Respecting Schools journey, we are introducing Restorative Practice across the school. Attached below is a leaflet that gives more information on this approach.
