Rights Respecting Schools

 

 

Bournville Village Primary School is a Unicef UK Silver Aware Rights Respecting School!

Bournville Village Primary School is a school where we aim to keep children’s rights at the heart of our ethos and culture, to improve well-being and to develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential.  As part of this we are a ‘Silver Aware Rights Respecting School’; an award given to schools on behalf of Unicef UK.

 

Unicef is the world’s leading organisation working for children and young people and their rights. In 1989, governments across the world agreed that all children have the same rights by adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). These rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow, participate, and fulfil their potential.

As part of the continuing 'Rights Respecting School' journey, we look for ways to regularly teach children about their rights and help them to put these into practice every day. A Rights Respecting School models rights and respect in all its relationships and this is something we are continually looking to improve, through our day to day actions and policies. 

Celebrating our Cultures Days

This year we have had 3 'Celebrating our Cultures' days in school. Children have come to school dressed in outfits that represent their culture, learnt about different cultures from around the world and participated in art and drama activities delivered by Sampad Arts. 

Sampad South Asian Arts and Heritage exists to support he development of the South Asian arts sector to be strong and resilient.

It connects people and communities to South Asian and British Asian Arts and Heritage by breaking down barriers, raising critical issues and amplifying unheard voices.

Families were invited in at the end of the day and brought food from their culture to share with everyone.

We also placed stickers on a world map to show the wide variety of heritages we are lucky enough to have at our school!
